Hi there,

I was just double-checking this, and the algorithm dropdown doesn't need to be manually set since it automatically changes to the value of the algorithm in the header.

But while testing this I actually got it to verify; not sure what was different each time since I could have sworn I tried both the public key and the certificate with and without the PEM headers (looks like the PEM headers are definitely necessary), but maybe I was using the wrong key or something.

Anyway thanks for looking into this!

Hmm, oddly enough I can manually verify the JWT using fusionauth-jwt with e.g. new JWTDecoder().decode(accessToken, RSAVerifier.newVerifier(myPublicKey).toString() where myPublicKey is the PEM-encoded key.

Still not working on jwt.io though whether I use the RSA public key or certificate in Base64 or PEM.

Re: Manually verifying a JWT

I'm having an issue is similar to the one in the thread above, except that I have no problem manually verifying a JWT signed with the default signing key (HS256), following the instructions in the thread above.

But if I switch to using RS256, with the following steps:

1. Go to Edit Application/JWT, and change Access Token signing key to "Auto generate a new key on save..."
2. Save, and generate a new JWT token
3. Generate a new JWT
4. Get the Base64 encoded public key from Settings/Key Master/View/"Access token signing key generated for application foo"
5. If I paste 3. and 4. into jwt.io it says the signature is invalid.

If I do the above steps but skip 1. and use the HS256 default signing key the signature is verified without a hitch so I'm not sure what the problem is. I've also verified that the Kid in my JWT header matches the Kid when I view the RSA key in key master.

Would appreciate any help with this because I'd really like to independently verify JWT without hitting the FusionAuth server, and I also don't want to use the HMAC secret in my app backend.

(PS this is on FusionAuth 1.29.3; key was generated with Java client 1.29.1)
