​
Prerequisites

  • An active telephony credential

​
Create a Token

The following API request will generate a JWT.
This JWT is valid until:
  • 24 hours after its creation or
  • the parent telephony credential is expired
whichever comes first

​
What a JWT Represents

A JWT is an authentication token for one telephony credential. It does not create a new SIP identity. Best practices:
  • JWTs minted from the same telephony credential still represent the same sip_username (gencred...)
  • Create a separate telephony credential per device, then mint JWTs from that credential

​
Immediate Login After Credential Creation

If you create a telephony credential and mint a JWT from it, wait about 5 seconds before using either the gencred or the JWT for login. Using them immediately after creation can fail transiently while the credential propagates.

​
SDK Authentication

SDKs are authenticated with the JWT.

​
Check SIP Registration Status

If you need to confirm whether the SDK is currently registered, use the underlying telephony credential’s sip_username (gencred...) with the SIP Registration Status endpoint.

​
Limits

Currently, there exists
  • No limit on count of tokens on a telephony credential,
  • Nor any limit on the aggregate count of tokens on a single account.
