Authenticate Self Help Repository Content using JWT Token

Whatfix enables you to access your Self Help repository content securely through the use of JSON Web Tokens (JWT).

What is a JSON Web Token (JWT)?

A JWT is a digitally signed token that securely transmits information between two parties. In this case, it's used to authenticate and authorize access to repository content. When an end user accesses repository content through Whatfix, it automatically includes the JWT token as a query parameter in the request URL. This ensures that the request is authenticated and authorized before the repository content is served. By embedding the JWT token in this way, Whatfix ensures that only authorized users can access the repository content, enhancing security and control over who can view or interact with it.
