member this.ReadJwtToken : string -> System.IdentityModel.Tokens.Jwt.JwtSecurityToken
Public Function ReadJwtToken (token As String) As JwtSecurityToken

Parameters

token
String

A 'JSON Web Token' (JWT) in JWS or JWE Compact Serialization Format.

Returns

A JwtSecurityToken

Exceptions

token is null or empty.

'token.Length' is greater than MaximumTokenSizeInBytes.

Remarks

If the token is in JWE Compact Serialization format, only the protected header will be deserialized. This method is unable to decrypt the payload. Use ValidateToken(String, TokenValidationParameters, SecurityToken)to obtain the payload.

The token is NOT validated and no security decisions should be made about the contents. Use ValidateTokenAsync(String, TokenValidationParameters) to ensure the token is acceptable.
