Hello Madan, In JSON Web Token: The "iss" (issuer) claim identifies the principal that issued the JWT. The processing of this claim is generally application-specific. The "iss" value is a case-sensitive string containing a StringOrURI value. Use of this claim is OPTIONAL. The "aud" (audience) claim identifies the recipients that the JWT is intended for. Each principal intended to process the JWT MUST identify itself with a value in the audience claim. If the principal processing the claim does not identify itself with a value in the "aud" claim when this claim is present, then the JWT MUST be rejected. In the general case, the "aud" value is an array of case- sensitive strings, each containing a StringOrURI value. In the special case when the JWT has one audience, the "aud" value MAY be a single case-sensitive string containing a StringOrURI value. The interpretation of audience values is generally application-specific. Use of this claim is OPTIONAL. -Thanks. I hope you are doing well.
