Azure Managed Identity Validate

AI-generated

Summary

Acquire an Azure Managed Identity access token and decode its JWT claims to validate the identity without exposing the token by default.

Inputs

  • Include Access Token — Whether to include the raw Bearer token in the output so it can be used in other nodes (e.g., as a custom header). Defaults to false.

Output shape

a single JSON object containing the managed identity token claims such as audience, issuer, tenant ID, object ID, app ID, subject, identity type, token version, issued/expiry times, and managed identity resource ID. Optionally includes the raw access token if requested.

If 'Include Access Token' is enabled, the access token appears in the output and logs, so treat it as a secret. Throws an error if token acquisition or decoding fails. Requires Azure Managed Identity credentials configured with a 'Resource / Audience' URI.

Examples

Example 1: Validate an Azure Managed Identity token's claims to confirm identity and token metadata without exposing the token itself.

Set up 'Azure Managed Identity API' credentials with the target 'Resource / Audience'. Use this node with 'Include Access Token' off for secure validation of the token's claims.

Example 2: Use the acquired token in other nodes such as custom HTTP requests.

Enable 'Include Access Token' to output the raw Bearer token along with the claims, then reference the token in subsequent nodes.
