  • 1.  Need help regarding the JWT ID Token

    Posted May 15, 2020 11:43 AM
    Hi,

    I have a business requirement where I need to use Open ID with Oauth2.0. So I was able to generate a JWT ID Token, JWT Access Token and a refresh token post authenticating the end user. Then I am sending the JWT ID, JWT Access and the refresh token back to the client application as a succesfull response.

    But here I am a bit confused. So during the actual service request will the client application sent the Gateway both the JWT Access Token (part of Oauth2.0 validation) and JWT ID Token (part of OpenID)? Or will it be, only the JWT Access token sent with the service request for validation. I am not very much aware about the exact industry protocol regarding this.

    If the client is supposed to sent the JWT ID token as well, how (what is the policy/ assertions) to validate that in the Gateway.

    Please help me out on these 2 queries.

    Hello,

    it is the JWT access_token that is used for accessing services on the resource server.
