This section provides instructions on how to get the user claims of the authorized user as a JWT token with the validation response. 

...

  1. Open the <IS_HOME>/repository/conf/identity/identity.xml file and set the <Enabled> element (found under the <OAuth>,<AuthorizationContextTokenGeneration> elements) to true as shown in the code block below. 

    Code Block
    languagexml
    <AuthorizationContextTokenGeneration>
                <Enabled>true</Enabled>
                <TokenGeneratorImplClass>org.wso2.carbon.identity.oauth2.authcontext.JWTTokenGenerator</TokenGeneratorImplClass>
                <ClaimsRetrieverImplClass>org.wso2.carbon.identity.oauth2.authcontext.DefaultClaimsRetriever</ClaimsRetrieverImplClass>
                <ConsumerDialectURI>http://wso2.org/claims</ConsumerDialectURI>
                <SignatureAlgorithm>SHA256withRSA</SignatureAlgorithm>
                <AuthorizationContextTTL>15</AuthorizationContextTTL>
     </AuthorizationContextTokenGeneration> 
  2. Add the following property under <OAUTH> section to use the JWT Token Builder instead of the default Token Builder.

    Code Block
    <IdentityOAuthTokenGenerator>org.wso2.carbon.identity.oauth2.token.JWTTokenIssuer</IdentityOAuthTokenGenerator> 
    Note

    If you need to use a self-contained access token generator, make sure you change the above values accordingly.

  3. The following configurations are optional and can be configured as needed.

    1. See the Extension Points for OAuth topic for more details about the usage of the 'TokenGeneratorImplClass' and 'ClaimsRetrieverImplClass'. 

    2. ConsumerDialectURI: Defines the URI for the claim dialect under which the user attributes need to be retrieved. 

    3. SignatureAlgorithm: Defines the algorithm to be used in signing the payload that carries user claims. If you want to disable signing of the JWT token, set this element to "NONE". 

      Code Block
      languagexml
      <SignatureAlgorithm>NONE</SignatureAlgorithm>
    4. AuthorizationContextTTL: Defines the expiry time for JWT token in minutes.

Note

Instead of configuring the JWT token in the identity.xml file, you can also choose to configure it using the management console while configuring the OAuth application.

Select JWT as the Token Issuer for a new or existing OAuth/OpenID connect consumer application. See Configuring inbound authentication with OAuth/OpenID Connect  for more information.

Calling the OAuth2ValidationService with a valid token

After configuring the elements mentioned above, see the OAuth2 Token Validation and Introspection topic to call the OAuth2ValidationService. The following screenshot is the request and response of the OAuth2ValidationService from the SOAP UI. Additionally, it shows the required claims of the user as required claim URIs. In the response, you can see the received JWT token under the <tokenString> element. 

Note

If there are no requested claim URIs defined, all the claims that carry values for the user are returned.

{"alg":"RS256","x5t":"NmJmOGUxMzZlYjM2ZDRhNTZlYTA1YzdhZTRiOWE0NWI2M2JmOTc1ZA"}

x5t : This header provides a base64url encoded SHA-256 thumbprint (a.k.a. digest) of the DER encoding of an X.509 certificate that can be used to match a certificate to validate the signature.

Retrieving user claims with the JWT 

User claims can be retrieved using the ID token or the userinfo endpoint. For more information, see Basic Client Profile with Playground.

You can access the userinfo endpoint with the received access token using the following curl command. As per the specification, the received bearer token is sent using the HTTP Authorization header.

Code Block
curl -k -H "Authorization: Bearer 4164157d677a6cd3a22e26e24c30135d" https://localhost:9443/oauth2/userinfo?schema=openid

As the response, WSO2 Identity Server returns a JSON with user claims.

Code Block
{"sub":"PRIMARY\/alex","email":"alex@mymail.com","name":"Alex Anderson","family_name":"Anderson","preferred_username":"alexanders","given_name":"Alex"}

Signature verification

The signature verification can be done similar to the ID token signature verification.
