ASP.NET .NET 6 OIDC Retrieve JWT AccessToken after SaveTokens
I was not able to find the docs for retrieving the JWT AccessToken in ASP.NET .NET 6 after they are saved so I decided to document it here. You may be familiar with the HttpContext.GetTokenAsync() method . This appears to have worked in previous version of .NET, but I could not get it to work in .NET 6. First, make sure you are saving the access tokens in the AddOpenIdConnect configuration. builder .Services .AddAuthentication(options => { options.DefaultScheme = CookieAuthenticationDefaults.AuthenticationScheme; options.DefaultChallengeScheme = OpenIdConnectDefaults.AuthenticationScheme; }) .AddCookie() .AddOpenIdConnect(options => { options.SaveTokens = true; }); Then, instead of HttpContext.GetTokenAsync(), call HttpContext.AuthenticateAsync(), and get the token out of the AuthenticateResult. var accessToken = authenticateResult?.Properties?.GetString(".Token.access_token"); Hope this helps, Aaron
