Arcana JWT Token
Estimated time to read: 2 minutes
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()(deprecated),loginWithOTPStart,loginWithOTPCompleteandloginWithBearer()
User validation
After the user authenticates through the chosen social login provider, the Arcana Auth SDK receives the JWT token. It verifies the user with this token, and then creates and returns an Arcana JWT token to the app.
Developers can use getUser() method to access the JWT token via the UserInfo return value. This token expires after 3 minutes.
JWT Token
It is recommended that the app developer must first verify the token returned by Arcana. After verification, developers must create another app-specific JWT token, if required, and use the subsequent token in the app.
/* Make sure
1. AuthProvider is created and initialized via .init() call
2. User is onboarded via plug and play login UI .connect() call
or
with custom login UI loginWithSocial, loginWithLink (deprecated), `loginWithOTPStart` and `loginWithOTPComplete`, loginWithBearer calls
