What is ISS in JWT token?
iss” (Issuer) Claim The “iss” (issuer) claim identifies the principal that issued the JWT. The processing of this claim is generally application specific. The “iss” value is a case-sensitive string containing a StringOrURI value.
What is AUD in a JWT?
The “aud” (audience) claim identifies the recipients that the JWT is intended for. Each principal intended to process the JWT MUST identify itself with a value in the audience claim.
What is JWT sub?
The “sub” (subject) claim identifies the principal that is the subject of the JWT. The claims in a JWT are normally statements about the subject. The subject value MUST either be scoped to be locally unique in the context of the issuer or be globally unique.
What’s the difference between a JWT and an AUD?
In doing so, it passes it’s client_id and client_secret along with any user credentials that may be required. The Authorization Server validates the client using the client_id and client_secret and returns a JWT. The JWT will contain an aud claim that specifies which Resource Servers the JWT is valid for.
What’s the difference between’aud’and’iss’?
In that case, you might have a token with “aud”: “aud.example.com” and “iss”: “sso.example.com”. Thanks for contributing an answer to Software Engineering Stack Exchange! Please be sure to answer the question.
When do JWT tokens validate the Aud claim?
Whatever the value is, when a recipient is validating the JWT and it wishes to validate that the token was intended to be used for its purposes, it MUST determine what value in aud identifies itself, and the token should only validate if the recipient’s declared ID is present in the aud claim.
Is the OAuth client ID the same as the Aud?
The OAuth Client ID is completely unrelated, and has no direct correlation to JWT aud claims. From the perspective of OAuth, the tokens are opaque objects. The application which accepts these tokens is responsible for parsing and validating the meaning of these tokens. I don’t see much value in specifying OAuth Client ID within a JWT aud claim.
