@adobe/jwt-auth NPM

jwt-auth

Retrieve an Adobe bearer token via the JWT path

Goals

Instead of every developer who wants to use the JWT Auth flow to retrieve an auth token from Adobe having to write their own implementation of this flow this package is intended to replace this need with one method call.

Installation

Instructions for how to download/install the code onto your machine.

Example:

npm install @adobe/jwt-auth

Common Usage

Usage instructions for your code.

Promise based example:

const auth = require("@adobe/jwt-auth");

auth(config)
  .then((tokenResponse) => console.log(tokenResponse))
  .catch((error) => console.log(error));

Async/Await based example:

const auth = require("@adobe/jwt-auth");

let tokenResponse = await auth(config);
console.log(tokenResponse);

or (if you don't care about the other properties in the token response)

const auth = require("@adobe/jwt-auth");

let { access_token } = await auth(config);
console.log(access_token);

Config object

The config object is where you pass in all the required and optional parameters to the auth call.

parameter	integration name	required	type	default
clientId	API Key (Client ID)	true	String
technicalAccountId	Technical account ID	true	String
orgId	Organization ID	true	String
clientSecret	Client secret	true	String
privateKey		true	String
passphrase		false	String
metaScopes		true	Comma separated Sting or an Array
ims		false	String	https://ims-na1.adobelogin.com

In order to determine which metaScopes you need to register for you can look them up by product in this handy table.

For instance if you need to be authenticated to call API's for both GDPR and User Management you would look them up and find that they are:

GDPR: https://ims-na1.adobelogin.com/s/ent_gdpr_sdk
User Management: https://ims-na1.adobelogin.com/s/ent_user_sdk

They you would create an array of metaScopes as part of the config object. For instance:

const config = {
  clientId: "asasdfasf",
  clientSecret: "aslfjasljf-=asdfalasjdf==asdfa",
  technicalAccountId: "asdfasdfas@techacct.adobe.com",
  orgId: "asdfasdfasdf@AdobeOrg",
  metaScopes: [
    "https://ims-na1.adobelogin.com/s/ent_gdpr_sdk",
    "https://ims-na1.adobelogin.com/s/ent_user_sdk",
  ],
};

However, if you omit the IMS url the package will automatically add it for you when making the call to generate the JWT. For example:

const config = {
  clientId: "asasdfasf",
  clientSecret: "aslfjasljf-=asdfalasjdf==asdfa",
  technicalAccountId: "asdfasdfas@techacct.adobe.com",
  orgId: "asdfasdfasdf@AdobeOrg",
  metaScopes: ["ent_gdpr_sdk", "ent_user_sdk"],
};

This is the recommended approach.

Response Object

The response object contains three keys:

token_type
access_token
expires_in

Example

const auth = require("@adobe/jwt-auth");
const fs = require("fs");

const config = {
  clientId: "asasdfasf",
  clientSecret: "aslfjasljf-=asdfalasjdf==asdfa",
  technicalAccountId: "asdfasdfas@techacct.adobe.com",
  orgId: "asdfasdfasdf@AdobeOrg",
  metaScopes: ["ent_dataservices_sdk"],
};
config.privateKey = fs.readFileSync("private.key");

auth(config)
  .then((token) => console.log(token))
  .catch((error) => console.log(error));
