CWT Credentials

Create a CWT Credential configuration

Create a CWT credential configuration

Creates a new CWT credential configuration, a specific set of rules and parameters that are used to create and validate a particular type of verifiable credential. These rules and parameters define how the credential is structured and what data it contains when issued.

Request Body

The credential configuration payload

type?string

Used to differentiate between different CWT/Semantic CWT credential configurations on your tenant. Thus, its value must:

  • Be unique across all CWT/Semantic CWT credential configurations on your tenant.
  • Not be VerifiableCredential.
Length1 <= length <= 1024
claimMappingscredentialConfigurationClaimMappings

This is where you specify how to map claims (user attributes) into issued credentials. Each field in the object corresponds to a claim in the issued credential, and contains one or more from the following attributes:

  • mapFrom: References the path in the user object where the claim is available.
    • When using a URL as a claims namespace identifier, use bracket notation to access the claim value (e.g. mapFrom: "claims['https://example.com/claim-name']").
    • mapFrom is optional when defaultValue is provided, as the latter will be used for all issued credentials. This is referred to as a static claim.
  • defaultValue: Indicates what value is used if required is set to false (field is optional) and no value is provided by the claims source. When defaultValue is provided, mapFrom is optional.
  • required: Indicates whether the claim is required (default: false). When a required claim cannot be retrieved and no defaultValue is available, credential issuance will fail. Example claims object inside the user object
{
  "claims": {
    "given_name": "Jamie",
    "family_name": "Doe",
    "address": {
      "formatted": "116-118 Quay Street, Auckland CBD, Auckland 1010"

Empty Object

revocable?boolean

When set to true (default), the created credential can later be revoked. When set to false, the credential cannot be revoked.

Defaulttrue
claimSourceId?string

References the unique identifier of a claims source that can be used to retrieve claims and include them in the issued credential.

Formatuuid
expiresIn?object

Used to determine when will issued credentials expire. Can include any combination of years, months, weeks, days, hours, minutes and seconds.
