Hi,

I want to use a rule to add claims to the user’s AccessToken after Silent Authentication, that can be accessed by the calling application. Therefore, I would like to get a JWT as the AccessToken in the response. However, only an opaque Base64 string is being returned currently. How can I configure Auth0 to return a JWT AccessToken after Silent Authentication?

Thanks in advance,  
FSQ

I figured it out; needed to pass the “audience” param in the silent authentication request, as well as the `openid` scope.
