(Visual Basic 6.0) Verify Okta ID Token Locally

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

Dim jsonToken As New ChilkatJsonObject
Dim success As Long
success = jsonToken.LoadFile("qa_data/tokens/okta_access_token.json")

' Load the public keys (Okta web keys), one of which is needed to validate.
' The web keys JSON looks like this:
