Building secure integrations with JWTs and OpenID Connect

[#1]

Session Code: CCB0244

Presenter(s): Kumar, Satyateja

Company(s): ServiceNow, ServiceNow

Abstract:

Learn how to use JWTs with OpenID Connect to build secure integrations that maintain the user context. Recent feature enhancements allow the platform to consume third-party issued tokens when calling inbound REST APIs. This is a game changer, as we can now offer transactional integrations with the platform without losing the context of the user who is making the request, and without ever having to store or send passwords to ServiceNow.

In this session, attendees will learn:

• What JWTs are and how they are used in OpenID Connect
• What advantage these technologies give us for building integrations on the Now platform
• Hands-on lab experience building integrations utilizing these technologies
