Hello Peter,

 

I have exactly the same problem as you for another application.

The "typ" jwt header is missing, this should be set to "JWT".

 

have you had any feedback from the support? if not, could you give me the number of your incident? it will have weight if I open an incident about it.

 

thank you for your help.

regards,

You need to specify token_content_type with value jwt for JWT tokens to be provided by F5 oauth server via POST method to /f5-oauth2/v1/token, if you dont do that then you request Opaque token.

 

Also first is always a GET request to /f5-oauth2/v1/authorize where I also append &token_content_type=jwt

    Hi Marvin,

    Can you confirm if the &token_content_type=jwt paramenter is added to the request the follwoing is added "type":"JWT" in the header of the JWT i.e.

    {
    "alg": "HS256",
    "typ": "JWT"
    }

    Currently the F5 is configured to issues JWT automatically, but it missing the "type":"JWT" in the header of the JWT. It doesn't required the special parameter to issue the JWT in the current setup.

    Or found another way to add headers to JWT.

    Running 15.1.x and the F5 is acting the the Oauth Authorization Server.

    Thanks
