The JSON Web Key Set (JWKS) endpoint is a read-only endpoint that returns the Identity Server's public key set in the JWKS format. This contains the signing key(s) that the Relying Party (RP) uses to validate signatures from the Identity Server. For more information on this endpoint, see the OpenID Connect Discovery specification.

Let's take a look at the endpoints you can use for the used in WSO2 Identity Server (WSO2 IS):

The endpoint URL for the super tenant

Endpoint URL

Copy the following URL to your browser: https://<IS_HOST>:<IS_HTTPS_PORT>/oauth2/jwks

Info
By default, `<IS_HOST>` is `localhost.` However, if you are using a public IP, the respective IP address or domain needs to be specified. By default, `<IS_HTTPS_PORT>` has been set to 9443. However, if the port offset has been incremented by `n`, the default port value needs to be incremented by `n`.

Example: https://localhost:9443/oauth2/jwks
