Definition

Namespace:

Microsoft.IdentityModel.JsonWebTokens

Assembly:

Package:

Microsoft.IdentityModel.JsonWebTokens v8.2.1

A SecurityTokenHandler designed for creating and validating Json Web Tokens. See: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7519 and http://www.rfc-editor.org/info/rfc7515.

JsonWebTokenHandler

Remarks

This partial class is focused on TokenCreation.

Constructors

JsonWebTokenHandler()

Initializes a new instance of the JsonWebTokenHandler class.

Fields

Base64UrlEncodedUnsignedJWSHeader	Gets the Base64Url encoded string representation of the following JWT header: { Alg, None }.
DefaultInboundClaimTypeMap	Default claim type mapping for inbound claims.
DefaultMapInboundClaims	Default value for the flag that determines whether or not the InboundClaimTypeMap is used.

Properties

CanValidateToken	Returns a value that indicates if this handler can validate a SecurityToken.
InboundClaimTypeMap	Gets or sets the InboundClaimTypeMap which is used when setting the Type for claims in the ClaimsPrincipal extracted when validating a JsonWebToken. The Type is set to the JSON claim 'name' after translating using this mapping. The default value is ClaimTypeMapping.InboundClaimTypeMap.
MapInboundClaims	Gets or sets the MapInboundClaims property which is used when determining whether or not to map claim types that are extracted when validating a JsonWebToken. If this is set to true, the Type is set to the JSON claim 'name' after translating using this mapping. Otherwise, no mapping occurs. The default value is false.
MaximumTokenSizeInBytes	Gets and sets the maximum token size in bytes that will be processed. (Inherited from TokenHandler)
SetDefaultTimesOnTokenCreation	Gets or sets a bool that controls if token creation will set default 'exp', 'nbf' and 'iat' if not specified. (Inherited from TokenHandler)
ShortClaimTypeProperty	Gets or sets the property name of Properties the will contain the original JSON claim 'name' if a mapping occurred when the Claim(s) were created.
TokenLifetimeInMinutes	Gets or sets the token lifetime in minutes. (Inherited from TokenHandler)
TokenType	Gets the type of the JsonWebToken.

Methods

CanReadToken(String)	Determines if the string is a well formed JSON Web Token (JWT). See: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7519.
CreateClaimsIdentity(JsonWebToken, TokenValidationParameters, String)	Creates a ClaimsIdentity from a JsonWebToken with the specified issuer.
CreateClaimsIdentity(JsonWebToken, TokenValidationParameters)	Creates a ClaimsIdentity from a JsonWebToken.
CreateToken(SecurityTokenDescriptor)	Creates a JWT that can be a JWS or JWE.
CreateToken(String, EncryptingCredentials, IDictionary<String,Object>)	Creates a JSON Web Encryption (JWE).
CreateToken(String, EncryptingCredentials, String)	Creates a JSON Web Encryption (JWE).
CreateToken(String, EncryptingCredentials)	Creates a JSON Web Encryption (JWE).
CreateToken(String, IDictionary<String,Object>)	Creates an unsigned JSON Web Signature (JWS).
CreateToken(String, SigningCredentials, EncryptingCredentials, IDictionary<String,Object>)	Creates a JSON Web Encryption (JWE).
CreateToken(String, SigningCredentials, EncryptingCredentials, String, IDictionary<String,Object>, IDictionary<String,Object>)	Creates a JSON Web Encryption (JWE).
CreateToken(String, SigningCredentials, EncryptingCredentials, String, IDictionary<String,Object>)	Creates a JSON Web Encryption (JWE).
CreateToken(String, SigningCredentials, EncryptingCredentials, String)	Creates a JSON Web Encryption (JWE).
CreateToken(String, SigningCredentials, EncryptingCredentials)	Creates a JSON Web Encryption (JWE).
CreateToken(String, SigningCredentials, IDictionary<String,Object>)	Creates a JSON Web Signature (JWS).
CreateToken(String, SigningCredentials)	Creates a JSON Web Signature (JWS).
CreateToken(String)	Creates an unsigned JSON Web Signature (JWS).
DecryptToken(JsonWebToken, TokenValidationParameters)	Decrypts a JWE and returns the clear text.
EncryptToken(String, EncryptingCredentials, IDictionary<String,Object>)	Encrypts a JWS.
EncryptToken(String, EncryptingCredentials, String, IDictionary<String,Object>)	Encrypts a JWS.
EncryptToken(String, EncryptingCredentials, String)	Encrypts a JWS.
EncryptToken(String, EncryptingCredentials)	Encrypts a JWS.
ReadJsonWebToken(String)	Converts a string into an instance of JsonWebToken.
ReadToken(String)	Converts a string into an instance of JsonWebToken.
ResolveTokenDecryptionKey(String, JsonWebToken, TokenValidationParameters)	Returns a SecurityKey to use when decrypting a JWE.
ValidateToken(String, TokenValidationParameters)	Obsolete. Validates a JWS or a JWE.
ValidateTokenAsync(SecurityToken, TokenValidationParameters)	Validates a token. On a validation failure, no exception will be thrown; instead, the exception will be set in the returned TokenValidationResult.Exception property. Callers should always check the TokenValidationResult.IsValid property to verify the validity of the result.
ValidateTokenAsync(String, TokenValidationParameters)	Validates a token. On a validation failure, no exception will be thrown; instead, the exception will be set in the returned TokenValidationResult.Exception property. Callers should always check the TokenValidationResult.IsValid property to verify the validity of the result.
