PRODA Get OAuth2 Access Token using JWT

See more PRODA Examples

Demonstrates how to get an OAuth2 access token for the PRODA Australian Government Online Services using a JWT. Visual Basic 6.0

Dim success As Long

'  This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
'  See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

'  First create a JWT to be sent in the POST to https://vnd.proda.humanservices.gov.au/mga/sps/oauth/oauth20/token

Dim privKey As New PrivateKey

'  Load an RSA private key from a PEM file.
'  Chilkat provides alternative methods to load from other formats, or to load from a string or binary data.

    Debug.Print privKey.LastErrorText

Dim jwt As New ChilkatJwt

'  Build the JOSE header

'  Set the timestamp defining an expiration time (end time) for the token
'  to be now + 1 hour (3600 seconds)

'  Produce the smallest possible JWT:
jwt.AutoCompact = 1

'  Create the JWT token.  This is where the RSA signature is created.
