Correct use of JwtTokens in C#

Question

I\'m playing a with JwtTokens and can\'t make them work properly. I\'m using http://www.nuget.org/packages/System.IdentityModel.Tokens.Jwt/ for it. I know the code is a mess

Answer 1

Found the issue. The validation parameters have a default clock skew of 5 minutes

/// <summary>
/// Default for the clock skew.
/// 
/// </summary>
/// 
/// <remarks>
/// 300 seconds (5 minutes).
/// </remarks>
public static readonly TimeSpan DefaultClockSkew;

Setting that to 0 make this work. Still don't understand why the skew is 5 minutes, if I set the expiry at some point!!!

Answer 2

This will definitely works

TimeSpan.FromSeconds(0) Resets ClockSkew Time to zero

TokenValidationParameters parameters = new TokenValidationParameters()
{
  RequireExpirationTime = true,
  ValidateIssuer = false,
  ValidateAudience = false,
  ClockSkew= TimeSpan.FromSeconds(0)
};
