Step 2: After that please select as image below

Step 3: Change authorization to JWT

2. User authorization using JWT method ​

With this authorization method, the Sigma DRM system will use the Json Web Token method to authenticate the user applying for a license. The token will be identified as the value of the sessionId field passed in the header of the license request. See Player Integration section for more details about sessionId

In the token, in addition to the standard JWT information, the token should contain the following information:

• sdi : Json string of content and user information

  • user (required): is the user Id in the request.
  • merchant (required): is the Id of the client.
  • asset (required): is the Id of the content the user is looking to view. If this field is present in the token then the system will match the id in the system. If it matches, the license will be granted.
  • allowRoot (Optional): Allow device rooted (detail at CRT)
  • hdcpLevel (Optional): Control hdcp for output protection (detail at CRT)
  • keyExpireTime (Optional): Playback duration. (detail at CRT)
  • securityLevel (Optional): Control security level for license (detail at CRT)
  • storeLicense (Optional): Allow peristenst license (detail at CRT)
