I have an asp.net web api 2 project with .Net framework 4.8 and a centralized Identity Server 4 project. I want to validate jwt/access token generated from IS4 in my web api 2 project. I can understand its a duplicate question but somehow I am unable to find any suitable help and I am not sure what's missing. I have used IdentityServer3.AccessTokenValidation
for token validation in web api project.
Startup.cs
using IdentityServer3.AccessTokenValidation;
using Microsoft.Owin;
using Owin;
[assembly: OwinStartup(typeof(WebApplicationApiNew.Startup))]
namespace WebApplicationApiNew
{
public class Startup
{
public void Configuration(IAppBuilder app)
{
app.UseIdentityServerBearerTokenAuthentication(new IdentityServerBearerTokenAuthenticationOptions
{
Authority = "https://localhost:44373",
RequiredScopes = new[] { "api1" },
});
}
}
}
Calling this API with a valid JWT bearer token still gives 401:
[Authorize]
[HttpPost]
public String GetName1()
{
if (User.Identity.IsAuthenticated)
{
var identity = User.Identity as ClaimsIdentity;
if (identity != null)
{
IEnumerable<Claim> claims = identity.Claims;
}
return "Valid";
}
else
{
return "Invalid";
}
}

I found solution to my problem. IS3 requires aud
claim (with /resources
in url) to be present in jwt/access token in order to validate the token. But on the other side IS4 has stopped emitting the aud
claim by default. So we need to explicitly set IS4 server to emit aud
claim to support legacy/old access token validation with IdentityServer3.AccessTokenValidation
.
services.AddIdentityServer(options =>
{
...
options.EmitStaticAudienceClaim = true; // <- for older access token validation
})
.AddDeveloperSigningCredential()
.AddInMemoryPersistedGrants()
.AddInMemoryIdentityResources(Config.GetIdentityResources())
...
