Re: HMAC Calculation

Correct. That may also be required, but since the payload is Base64
encoded, I assumed that it would not be necessary.

So the question could be: Must the original payload be converted to the
target CCSID before being encoded to Base64? Is it a binary or a text,
Json, etc. payload? Binary payloads must not be converted, of course.

Usually it is always a good idea to convert every part of the game to the
target CCSID before passing anything to Qc3CalculateHMAC.

Betreff: RE: HMAC Calculation

Suren K,

I had a lot of help doing this with a Web Service API... the trick was to
convert the data to ASCII before calling Qc3CalculateHMAC.

I used HTTP_Xlate() to do so.

HTH,
Greg

Subject: Reg: HMAC Calculation

Hi All,

How are you?

I am facing the following issue with Qc3CalculateHMAC API.

Currently i am trying to do the JWT token validation in iSeries, to do
that i am planning to generate the HMAC using the header, payload and
signed secret key.

The logic i am using is Passing the input data as
Header(Base64encoded).Payload(Base64encoded).

1) For Base64 decoding - SYSTOOLS.BASE64ENCODE function is used.
2) Algorithm - SHA256.
3) I am passing the Secret Key as plain character text using "KEYD0200"

But the HMAC generated by the API is not correct. Am i doing anything
wrong?

Qc3CalculateHMAC(
%addr(headerPayload) :
%len(%trimr(headerPayload)) :
'DATA0100' :
algd0500 :
'ALGD0500' :
keyparam :
'KEYD0200' :
'0' : // crypto
*blank : // crypto dev
hash :
QUSEC);

Could anyone please help me to figure out the issue?

Regards,
Suren K
