Creating a Service Account

In this section, you will find instructions on how to create a service account to authenticate with the Unico IDCloud platform.

---

To use server-to-server interactions, you need to request the creation of a service account through the project manager responsible for your company by providing the following information: company name, application name, name, email, and phone number of the person responsible for the application within the company. Separate accounts are required for the Homologation and Production environments.

Once this information is received, a service account responsible for authenticating your application will be created, and an email will be sent to generate the key pair for the account.

A service account credential includes a unique account name, a company identifier (Tenant ID), and at least one key pair (public and private). After generating the keys, you will only receive the private key (a .key.pem file) along with the payload that must be used to construct the JWT. This payload will follow the format below:

Payload com parâmetros da conta de serviço

If you need the public key for system configuration, please contact the project manager responsible for your account. Alternatively, you can generate a public key using the following OpenSSL command:

openssl req -x509 -new -nodes -sha256 -days 720 \
-key fileName.key.pem -out fileName.cert.pem
