Introduction of Speakers Jeff Homequest and Marco Lara, both senior field engineers at Adobe, led the webinar.

Webinar Focus The webinar focused on migrating from service account JWT to OAuth server-to-server credentials.

Deprecation Deadline Adobe is deprecating JWT credentials, and they must be migrated by the end of January 2025.

Target Audience The webinar was aimed at application developers, technical leads, and integration architects using JWT credentials in Adobe applications.

Migration Steps The webinar included a step-by-step migration guide and a demo.

Q&A Session Questions were taken throughout the meeting, with a dedicated Q&A session at the end.

Benefits of OAuth OAuth simplifies development, enhances security, and streamlines maintenance compared to JWT.

Timeline for Migration

• May 1, 2023 - Announcement of future deprecation.
• June 2, 2024 - Last date to create new service account credentials.
• January 27, 2025 - End of life for service accounts, and APIs using them will cease to function.

​Special Considerations for AEM The webinar addressed how the migration affects AEM cloud and on-prem customers, including specific authorization patterns and configurations.

Auto-Generated Integrations Auto-generated integrations will be migrated automatically by Adobe before the deadline.

Support and Documentation Adobe provides extensive documentation and support for the migration process. Customers can reach out to Adobe representatives or professional services for assistance.

Testing and Validation It is recommended to thoroughly test integrations after migration and before deleting old JWT credentials.

Custom Integrations Customers with custom integrations should identify and plan for migration as soon as possible, especially if third-party vendors are involved.
