How to parse azure active directory token, and how to get all the user details based on the azure token in node.js?

Question

I am using azure active directory OAuth for azure bot authentication.After logged in I got the token successfully, but how can I get the user details based on the token?

So, Is there is any way to parse the azure token in node.js and get the details about the user?

Answer 1

Basically the token you get is a JWT token base64 encoded. You can use a node package like jwtDecode to decode the contents of the token and get the claims.

You can do something like:

import jwtDecode from 'jwt-decode';
const claims = jwtDecode('base64 encoded token received from Azure AD');

claims will be a JavaScript object.
