Question

API Manager Security Configuration

I am looking for ways to better secure our APIs through API Manager. Originally, I was looking for a way to implement JWT, but I don't see anything in the API manager for that (If you know of something I am missing, please let me know). My question, though, involves the Admin screen "Security Configuration". I can't find any documentation on this screen, and there is an option for "encryption seed", but I don't know what that does or how to set it up (or if it will help my in securing my APIs). 

If someone has information or documentation on any of these things, please let me know.

I finally found docs on the encryption seed here, though it was rather difficult to find: https://helpx.adobe.com/coldfusion/api-manager/api-mgmt-server-admin.html

Still haven't found any information on JWT. It would also be nice if I could find an article on security best practices with the API manager.

Hi,

Can you please share your use case, how you want to implement it. (For OAuth2 instead of Bearer tokens want to use JWT ?)

Thanks,

Priyank
