DWS Viewer API uses JSON Web Tokens (JWTs) for authenticating its Nutrient Web SDK clients:
-
Your backend creates a session token for a particular document via DWS Viewer API’s backend API.1
-
Next, it passes the session token to your client apps that use Nutrient Web SDK.2
-
Your app then passes the session token when loading the Nutrient Web SDK. It uses it to prove it has access to the claimed DWS Viewer API document.3
