How to Embed a Noca App in Salesforce with JWT Authentication
What You’ll Build:
Embedded Noca Apps in Salesforce with JWT SSO
JWT (JSON Web Token) is a compact, signed token that lets Salesforce prove a user’s identity to a Noca app without sending passwords around. In a Salesforce embed, it acts like a tamper resistant “passport” that carries the essential claims Noca needs to trust the request and start a session. Because the token is cryptographically signed, Noca can verify it was issued by your Salesforce side and hasn’t been altered in transit. This enables smoother SSO for embedded experiences, so users land in the Noca app already authenticated instead of dealing with extra login prompts. Done right, JWT based embedding is both more secure and easier to manage than brittle, session based hacks.
