SDK App Registration

This topic describes how to register your application and generate credentials for your clients that are required to exchange messages between your application and the Platform.

When you register your app, you will need to select a security algorithm:

  • HS256 / HS512– The Platform generates and displays the Client ID and Client Secret necessary to generate the JWT token from your server.
  • RS256 / RS512– Upload your public key to the platform and use the private key to generate the signature from your server.

To register an app:

  1. Open the bots that you are working with.
  2. From the App Settings menu, go to Dev Tools > Web/Mobile SDK.

  3. In the JWT App drop-down list, select your existing app registration or click Add to create a new. SDK Home

    • In the JWT Signing Algorithms Used For Client App Authentication drop-down list, select one of the following security algorithms:
      1. RS256/RS512: Select to enable the Public Key. The Private key, used for encryption, is provided by the user, and the Public key, used for decryption, is provided by the Platform. Both the keys have to be used for generating the token. The Public Key is used by the Platform to authenticate the client application.
      2. HS256/HS512: Select to generate a Secret Key**and a **Client ID. The Client ID is required for app initialization, and the Secret Key is used by the Platform to authenticate the client application.
