Input and Output (JWT)

Forms serve as an intermediary, accepting input from a requesting application, guiding the user through a structured sequence of steps, and finally returning control to the originating application.

Receive input

Forms receives a JWT containing data using post. The JWT is verified using the trust_store and the payload is put into the flow state. This can later be accessed using flow.my_param1 in forms, and using request.my_param1 in pipes.

Propeties

Name	Description	Mandatory	Default
trust_store	Trust store for verifying signatures of incoming JWT tokens
parameter_name	Name of the form input parameter		jwt

Example

Send output

Forms sends a JWT to an external service using post. The payload is defined in the payload json structure and is expanded.

Propeties

Name	Description	Mandatory	Default
key_store	Key store used to sign the outgoing JWT token
parameter_name	Name of the form output parameter		jwt
payload	A json structure containgn payload data
location	The default location to post the data to.

Example

External_flow_id

Note! If Forms is used together with the ExternalFlow authenticator, the incoming external_flow_id must be added to the payload of the output JWT.
