AEP API authentication using JWT or OAUTH

Hi All,

 

We are currently using Adobe provided authentication mechanism where access token is generated with Adobe authentication server. This is working as expected for applications authentication to use APIs.

 

Can some one guide if we can use a centralized authentication server outside Adobe (inhouse systems)

for generating access token and is there any document guiding on how to do so. 

 

Thanks,

Mohini

Hi @mohiniu12161390,

 

You can't replace Adobe's IMS with your own authentication server, but you can manage and store tokens within your proppe sustem to facilitate integrations VIA API.

 

You can have a look to the following documentation: https://developer.adobe.com/developer-console/docs/guides/authentication/ServerToServerAuthentication/ 

 

Hope it helps.

 

Kind regards,

Celia

Hi @mohiniu12161390 

 

Can you please elaborate on your request. As far as I know, currently you can only use Adobe provided authentication mechanism to access the APIs.

 

You can explore this project - https://github.com/adobe/aepp if you are trying to write some scripts to invoke these API.

 

Hope this helps!

 

Thanks

Narendra
