Getting user info from oktaJwtVerifier.verifyAccessToken jwt object
I am using oktaJwtVerifier to verify an access token - which is working fine:
return oktaJwtVerifier.verifyAccessToken(accessToken, expectedAudience)
.then((jwt) => {
console.log(jwt.claims);
. . .
What I want to do is to get information about the user - their name, what groups they belong to, etc. How do I do that? I assume that I can configure something somewhere to give those fields in the jwt.claims object? If not, what would I call to get user information?
Hi Bruce,
While investigating I was able to verify and with the "oktaJwtVerifier" is
limited to perform the following actions stated in this link:
JWT Validation Guide
https://developer.okta.com/code/dotnet/jwt-validation/
For user validation you can check the following link:
Users API
https://developer.okta.com/docs/reference/api/users/#create-user-with-password
I hope this helps.
Thanks!
