This example demonstrates how to validate an Okta ID token using Chilkat's JWT class.

    {
    // This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
    // See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

    // This example begins with two JSON files:
    // 
    // 1. The access + id token obtained from Okta as shown in one fo these examples:  
    //    Get Okta Token using Resource Owner Password Flow
    // 
    // 2. The Okta web keys obtained by this example:  Get Okta Web Keys
    // 
    // 

    // ----------------------------------------------------------------
    // Note: The very last step of this example is where the claims, such as iss, aud, iat, exp, and nonce
    // are extracted from the ID token and examined.
    // ----------------------------------------------------------------

    // Load the access/id token to be verified.
    // It contains JSON that looks like this:
    // {
    //   "access_token": "eyJraWQiOiJhb ... O_eVu-kBp6g",
    //   "token_type": "Bearer",
    //   "expires_in": 3600,
    //   "scope": "openid",
    //   "id_token": "eyJraWQi ... FrL9WOuwbQtUg"
    // }
    // This example verifies the id_token.  (The access_token is verified in this example:  Verify Okta Access Token
