JWT token exchange using technical account

[PavithraSr2]

Hi Community,

Can someone help on the below query:

I am aware that in order to enable server-to-server interaction, we must switch from JWT to Oauth authentication. However, I'm curious about how the deprecation of the JWT token will impact the technical account that uses the token-based exchange to IMS to produce access tokens as described in  https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/experience-manager-learn/getting-started-with-aem-headles...credentials. 

If so, should the Oauth implementation be used for the access_ token generation?

Please check if this helps https://developer.adobe.com/developer-console/docs/guides/authentication/ServerToServerAuthenticatio...

Thanks for the reply @arunpatidar . But all I want to know is if this JWT deprecation affects AEM assets HTTP API request being used by external systems to AEM  where JWT token exchange happens with IMS. So this JWT token exchange should also be replaced by oauth implementation?

Hi @PavithraSr2 

Yes, all the integrations mentioned here, that currently use JWT will be transitioned to OAuth. You may have received multiple emails from Adobe regarding this migration if it applies to your application.
