qie.generateJwkKeyfile¶

Signature: qie.generateJwkKeyfile(sslKeyName, use, algorithm, keyId)

Returns: String jwkKeyfile - a JSON JWK keyfile string

Generates a JSON Web Key (JWK) keyfile for use with Oauth 2.0, OpenId, etc.

Parameters¶

Type	Name	Description
String	sslKeyName	the name of SSL Key to generate the public keyfile from
String	use	'sig' for signature or 'enc' for encryption
String	algorithm	specified algorithm to use during signing (ex. RS512)
String	keyId	the id to use in the keyfile

Example¶

var jsonStringifiedJwkKeyFile = qie.generateJwkKeyfile(
    'myPreviouslyUploadedPrivateKey',           // the SSL private key
    'enc',                                      // 'sig' for signature, 'enc' for encryption
    'RS256',                                    // algorithm
    'Qvera Private Key ID'                      // key ID
);
// Example usage: inspect as JSON
var jwk = JSON.parse(jsonStringifiedJwkKeyFile);
var jwkKeyType = jwk.kty;                       // RSA
var usage = jwk.use;                            // enc
var algorithm = jwk.alg;                        // RS256
var keyId = jwk.kid;                            // Qvera Private Key ID
