If you choose not to work with any of the Frontegg middlewares, you can as easily validate your JWT token using the Frontegg public key available from the Frontegg Portal.

Step-By-Step Guide

Follow the steps below to use the public key from the JWT token signature to verify a JWT token:

Step 1: Get Public Key

Go to Environments ➜ [NAME OF ENVIRONMENT] ➜ Authentication ➜ JWT.

Copy the public key for the JWT signature.

Here is a link to the development JWT settings and a link to the production JWT settings.

Step 2: Validate Token

You can now verify the token using the public key. Use the code sample below to validate the JWT and get the user's information from the token.

const jwt = require('jsonwebtoken');

const cert = 'PUBLIC_KEY_FROM_FRONTEGG_PORTAL';
jwt.verify(token, cert, function(err, user) {
  console.log(user) // user info from the token
});

import jwt

jwt.decode(token, "PUBLIC_KEY_FROM_MANAGEMENT_PORTAL", algorithms=["RS256"])

After validating the user, you get a user object containing information about the user.
