Arcana JWT Token

Upon successful authentication, Arcana Auth SDK returns a unique JWT token to the app. This token is generated upon successful authentication via any of the supported methods of the AuthProvider:

  • Plug-and-play login connect()
  • Custom login UI methods such as loginWithSocial(), loginWithLink() and loginWithBearer()

Developers can use getUser() method to access the JWT token via the UserInfo return value. This token expires after 3 minutes. The app developer must first verify the token returned by Arcana and then post-verification, create newer app-specific JWT token, if required, and use them for subsequent calls.

Note that the Arcana Auth SDK uses the JWT token returned by the social provider to verify the user internally before creating the Arcana JWT token and returning it to the app after successful authentication. See how to validate Arcana JWT token for details.
