The JWT should be securely signed with an algorithm other than HS, and it should contain the following claims:

  1. iss: identifies the principal that issued the JWT; it must match the issuer in the IDP definition.
  2. aud: identifies the recipients of the JWT, which in this case is "qlik.api/login/jwt-session".
  3. sub: identifies the subject of the JWT.
  4. subType: the type of identifier the sub represents, which in this case is "user".
  5. name: the name of the user.
  6. email: the email address of the user.
  7. email_verified: a claim indicating to Qlik that the JWT source has verified that the email address belongs to the subject.
  8. jti: JWT ID; it should be unique for each consumed JWT token.
  9. iat: identifies the time at which the JWT was issued.
  10. nbf: identifies the starting time on which the JWT is accepted. The current unix time must be passed this value.
  11. exp: identifies the expiration time after which the JWT is not accepted.
  12. keyid: identifies the KeyID used to sign the JWT; it must match the KeyID in the IDP definition.
