Will totara support JWT types of authentication?

I don't think it does now, but will it in the future?

Hi Jason

It is my understanding that MS Teams uses these and the MS teams integration with Totara 13 uses these.

How are you thinking of using these? 

regards

Thanks for your reply.  That's very helpful.

My initial thought is to create a token from my companies web page and having users access the Totara based on that link from my companies page and sending the token over.

I do this now with a couple of my sites, but I share a preshared secret key when creating the token, and that shared key will need to be known on the Tortara end, perhaps by a LMS Host that uses Totara.

Thanks again for your response, I will check out MS Teams which we do use a lot.
