How to decode JWT payload in Qlik Sense Cloud

[kjun0306]

Hi,

I am trying to use section access in Qlik Sense in cloud with JWT. 

How can I retrieve user information from JWT payload?

Thanks.

If the login with the JWT is successful, the relevant information used to section access it already present in the user's metadata.  Section access can work of either the subject or email from the JWT or optionally groups if they have been provided in the JWT.

Thank you! Couple more questions:

1. Is it possible to use JWT with https?

2. Users of my portal should be able to access Qlik Sense dashboard after they log in to my web app without Qlik Cloud account. How can I set that up?

3. I need to use some user metadata such as user type. So I still think that I need to parse JWT payload. Would it be doable?

Here JWT authentication succeeded on http not with https.   can  any one please help on how we can do authentication for HTTPS ?

A full example is provided here:  https://qlik.dev/authenticate/jwt/implement-jwt-authorization/

Thanks, @Leigh_Kennedy .

The steps in this article are similar to what I have done except the way it generates public key. Is that the one makes it work with https?

And I will need to make it work for the users of my portal without setting up their accounts in qlik cloud server and retrieve their information from payload.

Hi @kjun0306.

Did you manage to use payload information to limit the data in an app for users? I'm trying to set this up myself, and I would like to use information from the payload in section access. For example I'm using the Idp sublect as the USERID field in the SA-table, I would like to use values from the JWT payload as the reduction field.

Is this possible?
