@Senthil Kumar Ulaganathan (C) Apology in reaching out. If your requirement is that you want to create the JWT token and pass the same to your backend then API Management Policy for Access Token Acquisition, Caching and Renewal article have the details how this can be achived. This document cover how to acquire access token from Azure AD thru client credentials flow.
