This allows apps to allow the new installation to access previous tenant data (if any exists).ДЄ valid signature demonstrates that the sender is in possession of the shared secret from when the old tenant data was accessed. The shared secret sent in the preceding installed callback.

Because there was no previous shared secret the recipient cannot validate a JWT token. When JWT authentication is used the lifecycle callbacks are signed using a shared secret. The installation handshake is a way for the Atlassian application and the app to exchange keys stored on both sides for future API calls. Webhooks), and sign outgoing requests (e.g. You then use the security context to validate incoming requests (e.g.The shared secret can be up to 128 characters in length. The security contexts contains, among other things, a key identifying the app and a shared secret (used to create and validate JWT tokens).You must then store this security context for future use. When an administrator installs the app in an Atlassian cloud instance, Connect initiates an 'installation handshake': it invokes the endpoint, passing a security context.You implement an installation callback endpoint, and add a reference to it in the app descriptor.You declare that the app uses JWT as the authentication mechanism in the app descriptor.Here is how your app can leverage Atlassian Connect's authentication feature: None of the query parameters of the HTTP request, nor the path (excluding the context path), nor the HTTP method,.The Atlassian application can verify it is talking to the app, and vice versa (authenticity).Basically, a securityД¬ontext is exchanged when the app is installed, and this context is used to create and validate JWT tokens, embedded in API calls. Atlassian Connect uses a technology called JWT (JSON Web Token) to authenticate apps.

To Atlassian products or exposing endpoints called by an Atlassian product. The purpose of this section is to describe how an app can authenticate with Atlassian Connect when making API calls On this page you'll find information about authentication methods for Atlassian Connect for Bitbucket.
