    Hi,

    If I understand correctly, APM is set as Client and RS. It means APM will redirect the user to your AS in order to authenticate and get a token (Client role). Which grant is set in your AS ? Authorization code grant ?

    Then APM will validate the JWT token (RS role).

    By default, APM uses JWT-BEARER as insertion type, and JWT signed (not encrypted by default)

    Hi awan_m - have you been able to figure this one out yet? I see nobody in the community had an answer, so I'm trying to find a colleague who can help. Hopefully someone can reply in the mean time!
