Description

A command-line utility to create signed and encrypted JWT tokens with support for private claims.
Utilizes the fantastic go-jose library from Square: https://github.com/square/go-jose

A public key pem file (public.pem), encryption key (.sek), and JWT token (token) are generated and exported to the filesystem path specified by the --outdir parameter.

Usage

git clone https://github.com/czembower/jwtgen.git && cd jwtgen && go get -d ./... && go build
./jwtgen [args]

jwtgen arguments:

• -audience [string] jwt token audience (default "audience")
• -id [string] jwt token id (default "identifier")
• -issuer [string] jwt token issuer (default "issuer")
• -outdir [string] output directory to render assets (default "./output/")
• -privateClaims [string] comma separated list of private claims in key=value format
• -subject [string] jwt token subject (default "subject")
• -ttl [string] ttl of token in seconds (default "86400")

Limitations

The RSA keypair can not currently be imported or specified, as it is generated by the utility at run time.
