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 used in WSO2 Identity Server (WSO2 IS):

Before you begin!

Make sure to start WSO2 IS before you try out the endpoints.

The endpoint URL for the super tenant

Endpoint URL

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

  • 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

The endpoint URL for tenants

Endpoint URL

Copy the following URL to your browser: https://<IS_HOST>:<IS_PORT>/t/<TENANT_DOMAIN>/oauth2/jwks

  • 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.
  • Enter your tenant domain for <TENANT_DOMAIN>.
