Decode Microsoft Graph ID Token

Demonstrates how to decode a Microsoft Graph ID token. Visual Basic 6.0

Dim success As Long

' This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
' See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

' In a previous example, we obtained a Microsoft Graph OAuth2 access token.
' This example loads the JSON saved from the previous example and decodes the id_token.

' Our Microsoft Graph OAuth2 token looks like this:

' {
'   "token_type": "Bearer",
'   "scope": "openid profile User.ReadWrite Mail.ReadWrite Mail.Send Files.ReadWrite User.Read Calendars.ReadWrite Group.ReadWrite.All",
'   "expires_in": 3600,
'   "ext_expires_in": 3600,
'   "access_token": "EwCQA8l6...0HhMKYwC",
'   "refresh_token": "MCWulIvzi2yD0S...igEFn51mqcByhZtAJg",
'   "id_token": "eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1...Q7lRDaR-7A",
'   "expires_on": "1562862714"
' }
