I want to generate a JWT for my users, hence, I used the following endpoint alongside the appropriate headers and body, but in order to provide the main JWT for the assertion I was required to created manually for the account. How could I automate it, so that I can create any JWTs using API requests? I tried using password grant_type but it did not work, and throws an OAU-251 error - Unauthorized for this grant type.

The following code snippet works fine, but I want to automatically generate the main JWT.
def getAccessToken(username, extension, password, server, client_id, client_secret):
url = f"{server}/restapi/oauth/token"
data = {
"grant_type": "urn:ietf:params:oauth:grant-type:jwt-bearer",
"username": f"{username}*{extension}",
"password": password,
"assertion":"eyJraWQiOiI4NzYyZjU5OGQ..."
}
headers = {
"Content-Type": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded",
"Authorization": "Basic " + base64.b64encode(f"{client_id}:{client_secret}".encode("utf-8")).decode("utf-8")
}
res = requests.post(url, headers=headers, data=data)
return (res.json())
