JWT FAQ

Created by Steve Place, Modified on Mon, Jun 3 at 12:43 PM by Steve Place

Per our documentation, starting in version 7.8.0, Stardog is configured to issue authentication tokens. You can follow that link to see how to customize them.


Below are some commonly asked questions about these tokens.


Does providing a jwt.yaml configuration without a signer block prevent Stardog from issuing tokens for basic auth users?


Yes.


Which tools use these authentication tokens?


The Stardog apps (Studio, Explorer, and Designer), Stardog Cloud, and Stardog Launchpad.


Is it more secure to use these tokens rather than basic auth?


Yes. The token issued by the Stardog server expires after a certain amount of time, so if the JWT is compromised, the risk window closes when the token expires.
