Cloud Manager enables customers to manage their custom code deployments on their AEM-managed cloud environments with manageable pipeline automation and complete flexibility for the timing or frequency of their deployment.

The Cloud Manager CI/CD pipeline executes series of steps to build and deploy the code to AMS and AEM as Cloud AEM platforms, refer to the below video to understand the basics of Cloud Manager.


Cloud manager exposes APIs to interact with the CM settings and to manage the pipeline also emits different events on pipeline execution.

The Adobe I/O along with custom webhooks can be used to receive the appropriate events from Cloud Manager and take the required action. Also, the Cloud Manager APIs can be invoked through Adobe I/O to perform different operations on Cloud Manager.

One of the important requirements while working with Cloud Manager is notifying the developer on the status of pipeline execution, the individual developers can subscribe to the email notification as required but there is no default option to send the notifications to group email or another collaboration channel.

Most of the teams like the notification to the Collaboration Channels e.g Microsoft Teams, the Adobe I/O along with CM API, Events, and Microsoft Teams Webhook can be used to send the Cloud Manager Notification to the Microsoft Teams Channel.

The Microsoft teams or other Collobrarion Tools helps to enable the webhooks(POST with JSON data), the webhook can be used to send the notification to the specific channel.

The notification can be managed through a custom webhook or Adobe I/O runtime, Adobe I/O runtime expects two Webhook services to receive the events(due to this the Collaboration Channel Webhook can’t be directly used in Adobe I/O Notification)

• GET service to receive the challenge request and respond to the challenge
• POST service to receive the different event details

The signature validation is performed as part of the POST service to ensure the request is posted only from Adobe I/O and to protect from security issues.

I was getting "init failed:Error: not supported argument" error while trying to generate the JWT Token with RS256 algorithm through "jsrsasign" npm module.

const jsrsasign = require('jsrsasign')

const fs = require('fs');

const EXPIRATION = 60 * 60 // 1 hour

  const header = {

    'alg': 'RS256',

    'typ': 'JWT'

  }

  const payload = {

    'exp': Math.round(new Date().getTime() / 1000) + EXPIRATION,

    'iss': 'test',

    'sub': 'test',

    'aud': 'test',

    'custom-prop': 'test'

  }  

  const privateKey = fs.readFileSync('privateKeyfile.key); 

  const jwtToken = jsrsasign.jws.JWS.sign('RS256', JSON.stringify(header), JSON.stringify(payload), JSON.stringify(privateKey))

But the JWT token generation was successful with the HS256 algorithm

const jsrsasign = require('jsrsasign')

const fs = require('fs');

const EXPIRATION = 60 * 60 // 1 hour

  const header = {

    'alg': 'HS256',

    'typ': 'JWT'

  }

  const payload = {

    'exp': Math.round(new Date().getTime() / 1000) + EXPIRATION,

    'iss': 'test',

    'sub': 'test',

    'aud': 'test',

    'custom-prop': 'test'

  }  

  const privateKey = fs.readFileSync('privateKeyfile.key); 

  const jwtToken = jsrsasign.jws.JWS.sign('HS256', JSON.stringify(header), JSON.stringify(payload), JSON.stringify(privateKey))

To support the RS256 algorithm, changed the "jsrsasign" to  "jsonwebtoken" module.

const jwt = require('jsonwebtoken');

const fs = require('fs');

const EXPIRATION = 60 * 60 // 1 hour

const header = {

    'alg': 'HS256',

    'typ': 'JWT'

 }

  const payload = {

    'exp': Math.round(new Date().getTime() / 1000) + EXPIRATION,

    'iss': 'test',

    'sub': 'test',

    'aud': 'test',

    'custom_attr': 'test'

  }  

const privateKey = fs.readFileSync(process.env.PRIVATE_KEY); 

const jwtToken=jwt.sign(JSON.stringify(payload), privateKey,{ 'algorithm': 'RS256' });

The JWT token generation with the RS256 algorithm was successful after switching to "jsonwebtoken" module
