Huge thanks to Lukas Lihotzki for the AMAZING Gist comment. Once active, you can decode JWTs from the Linux command line with relative ease: The popular JSON Web Token format is a useful way to maintain authentication state and synchronize it between client and server. After a couple of slight modifications I was super stoked with the following jq incantation (huge thanks Lucas!): While looking into command line JWT decoders, I came across the following gist describing how to do this with jq. There are plenty of online tools available to decode JWTs, but being a command line warrior I wanted something I could use from a bash prompt. To get around this you will need to create an interface describing what you expect to be in your JWT and tell jwtDecode to use it as the return type of the. Because of this, it uses the type unknown to signify that result of the decoded JWT is, unknown. One private key signs access tokens, and the other signs ID tokens. The most common form of bearer token is the JWT (JSON Web Token), which is a string with three hexadecimal components separated by periods (e.g., ). The issue is jwtDecode is unaware of what is inside your token, as it could be anything. python-jose uses jwt.getunverifiedheader () and jwt.getunverifiedclaims (). Since refresh tokens are typically longer-lived, you can use them to request new access tokens after the shorter-lived access tokens expire. And the 'problem' is, that many jwt libs call the function just decode but also need a key because the also verify the signature. A refresh token can help you balance security with usability. At the core of OAUTH2 is the concept of a bearer token. Even if you are doing so to protect their data, users may find your service frustrating or difficult to use. Meet Base64 Decode and Encode, a simple online tool that does exactly what it says: decodes from Base64 encoding as well as encodes into it quickly and easily. Over the past few months I’ve been spending some of my spare time trying to understand OAUTH2 and OIDC.
