JWT Authentication | InditexTech Karate Tools

Karate Tools will generate a JWT token based on default JWT data defined in src/test/resources/jwt/default-jwt.yml and will send the HTTP requests with the JWT token as Bearer in the "Authorization" header.

User specific data for JWT generation can be defined in src/test/resources/jwt/<username>-jwt.yml files.

Configuration

The default settings for JWT authentication are:

defaultAuthMode: jwt
- auth.authMode when used in a specific request.
defaultUsername: default username.
- auth.username when used in a specific request.

Examples

Default settings

# defaultAuthMode: basic | jwt. 'auth.authMode' when used in a specific request.
