OpenID Connection Preferences

Form ID: (SM303030)

You use this form to review the existing keys that MYOB Advanced uses for signing and validating JSON web tokens (JWTs). By using this form, you can also generate a new key that MYOB Advanced will use for signing JSON web tokens (JWTs). At this, the former active key becomes invalid for signing JWTs and can be deactivated for validating JWTs immediately, or after some period.

MYOB Advanced uses the last generated key for signing JWTs. MYOB Advanced validates a JWT with active keys one by one until it finds the key that signed the JWT.

Attention: The form is available if the OpenID Connect feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features (CS100000) form.
