JWT SSO and User Creation in Zendesk
How does JWT SSO affect user creation in Zendesk?
Using JWT SSO for user authentication in Zendesk can sometimes result in new users being created with random names, such as 'Visitor 88802267'. This occurs when the JWT SSO process does not correctly pass the user's name and email from your application to Zendesk.
To resolve this, ensure that your JWT SSO implementation is correctly configured to send the user's name and email. If issues persist, consider reaching out to Zendesk Customer Support for further assistance.
