Example 1: Node.JS Service Integration

Repository: eg-01-node-jwt

Screencasts

A screencast for this launcher is available:

• Creating an Integration Key (a client id) for JWT authentication.

Introduction

This software is an example of a System Integration. This type of application interacts with DocuSign on its own. There is no user interface and no user is present during normal operation.

The application uses the OAuth JWT grant flow to impersonate a user in the account.

This launcher example includes two examples:

1. Send an html, Word, and PDF file in an envelope to be signed.
2. List the envelopes in the account that are less than 30 days old.

Installation

Requirements: Node v8.10 or later

Download or clone this repository. Then:

cd eg-01-node-jwt
npm install

There are two ways to configure the example's settings:

1. Edit the dsConfig.js file in the root directory of the example.
2. Set environment variables before running the example.

Creating the Integration Key

Your DocuSign Integration Key (clientId) must be configured for a JWT OAuth authentication flow:

• Create a public/private key pair for the key. Store the private key in a secure location. You can use a file or a key vault.

• The example requires the private key. Provide it as a string, as configuration setting privateKey.

• If you will be using individual permission grants, you must create a Redirect URI for the key. Any URL can be used. By default, this example uses https://www.docusign.com This redirect url is just used for obtaining consent. You can use the docusign.com default in your test example.

  For production, DocuSign recommends using Organization administration to proactively grant consent to the client ID, the Integration Key.

The impersonated user's guid

The JWT will impersonate a user within your account. The user can be an individual or a user representing a group such as "HR".

Your application will need the guid assigned to the user. The guid value for each user in your account is available from the Administration tool in the Users section.

To see a user's guid, Edit the user's information. On the Edit User screen, the guid for the user is shown as the API Username.

Run the examples
