Advanced tools
Function to validate access token received from azure active directory. Useful when you're using a msal library to authenticate users on the frontend and you wanna verify Microsoft tokens in the API. THIS VERSION WORKS WITH CLIENT_CREDENTIAL FLOW.
What I changed from the base branch: A client_credential does not have to have a scp key on the JWT so I am removing that check to allow service-to-service tokens to be validated.
This is a function that can be used to validate an access token received from Azure Active Directory. It is particularly useful when you're using a MSAL library to authenticate users on the frontend and you want to verify Microsoft tokens in the API.
