Using JWT Bearer Flow

To authenticate using the JWT Bearer flow, follow the procedures below. Tasks 1 and 2 are configurations on Identity Authentication side. Task 3 is a configuration, done on the client (relying party) side.

The JWT Bearer flow is used for token exchanges from a server application, where the server already has a token. For example:

  • To switch for a public client with restricted audience to a confidential client with full audience list
  • To authenticate with a token coming from a different identity provider (IdP) to an Identity Authentication token

Remember:

If the id_token is issued by another OpenID Connect provider, like Microsoft Entra ID for example, you must configure that provider as a corporate identity provider in the administration console of Identity Authentication. For more information, see Configure Trust with OpenID Connect Corporate Identity Provider.
