How to get payload after login using `WebAuthentication`

Questions
1

I’m trying to implement the login in a Swift app.

I’m following the WebSingIn example from GitHub - okta/okta-mobile-swift: okta-mobile-swift

I can login just fine, I can get the Token with all the data, so the login seems to work fine.

But when I try to get a particular field from the JWT payload ( for example the email), the string or it’s not there or it doesn’t make any sense.

Is this because the payload is encrypted?

I’ve tried using the https://jwt.io/ to see what’s in the JWT payload, but the only fields that make sense are:

  • Fields related with dates/times, for example keys in the payload with: iat, exp or auth_time
  • And the issuer field with the key: iss

The other ones don’t make much sense the values, so my only guess is they are encrypted…?

Ok, I found the problem

It seems I was using the tokenId instead of the accessToken to get the claims I wanted like the email address.

Using the accessToken is the solution:
