I'm trying to convert my token string to jwt token using JwtSecurityTokenHandler. But it's getting error that saying

IDX12709: CanReadToken() returned false. JWT is not well formed: '[PII is hidden]'.\nThe token needs to be in JWS or JWE Compact Serialization Format. (JWS): 'EncodedHeader.EndcodedPayload.EncodedSignature'. (JWE): 'EncodedProtectedHeader.EncodedEncryptedKey.EncodedInitializationVector.EncodedCiphertext.EncodedAuthenticationTag'.

How can I solve this issue?

Here is my token

eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJ1bmlxdWVfbmFtZSI6ImFkbWluIiwibmJmIjoxNTUwNjM3NzcxLCJleHAiOjE1NTA2Mzg5NzEsImlhdCI6MTU1MDYzNzc3MX0.tUcoyoHgkrX3rDKl0cRLd9FwLtRprQpgYepMoiekixY

var tokenHandler = new JwtSecurityTokenHandler();
var jwtToken = tokenHandler.ReadToken(token) as JwtSecurityToken;

Calling web api

using (HttpClient client = new HttpClient())
            {
                string path = "UserMaintenance/ValidateUserId?userid=" + txtUsername.Text.Trim().ToString();
                client.BaseAddress = new Uri(GlobalData.BaseUri);
                client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("Authorization", "Bearer" + GlobalData.Token);
                HttpResponseMessage response = client.GetAsync(path).Result;
                if (response.IsSuccessStatusCode)
                {
                    var value = response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync().Result;
                    isValid = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<bool>(value);
                }
            }

Here is my GetPrincipal method

public static ClaimsPrincipal GetPrincipal(string token)
    {
        try
        {
            var symmetricKey = Convert.FromBase64String(Secret);
            var validationParameters = new TokenValidationParameters()
            {
                RequireExpirationTime = true,
                ValidateIssuer = false,
                ValidateAudience = false,
                IssuerSigningKey = new SymmetricSecurityKey(symmetricKey)
            };

            var handler = new JwtSecurityTokenHandler();
            handler.InboundClaimTypeMap.Clear();

            SecurityToken securityToken;
            var principal = handler.ValidateToken(token, validationParameters, out securityToken);

            return principal;
        }

        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            return null;
        }
    }

This is how I do it and it works for me:

var token = new System.IdentityModel.Tokens.JwtSecurityToken(jwt);  

The above line works for System.IdentityModel.Tokens.Jwt package version 4.0.0. As @Nick commented, in the latest versions of the package, the JwtSecurityToken does not exist in the previous namespace anymore, instead it exists in System.IdentityModel.Tokens.Jwt so you need to write: var token = new System.IdentityModel.Tokens.Jwt.JwtSecurityToken(jwt);

Unless your token is not well-formed. It would be better if you share the token too.

Update:

You also need to remove the word "Bearer " from the beginning of the token (If you haven't):

 var jwt = context.Request.Headers["Authorization"].Replace("Bearer ", string.Empty);
