Hi @veceg9 

 

To generate a JWT in ServiceNow, follow these steps:

  1. Create or obtain a Java KeyStore (JKS) certificate and upload it to your instance.
  2. Navigate to System OAuth > JWT Keys and create a JWT signing key, assigning it to your JKS certificate. Note: The only supported signing algorithm in ServiceNow is RSA 256; ES256 is not available.
  3. Add a JWT provider in System OAuth > JWT Provider, linking it to your signing key.
  4. Use this provider for OAuth integrations or API authentication.


Currently, ServiceNow does not support signing JWTs with the ES256 algorithm—only RSA 256 is available
