Using Access Tokens

The access token can be used by calling the getAccessToken() method.

Accessing the access token​

You can get the access token by calling the method getAccessToken() on the OidcSecurityService

this.oidcSecurityService.getAccessToken().subscribe(at => ...);

or for a specific config:

this.oidcSecurityService.getAccessToken('configId').subscribe(at => ...);

You can then manually use the token within HttpHeaders when performing an HTTP request with Angular's HttpClient:

import { HttpHeaders } from '@angular/common/http';

this.oidcSecurityServices.getAccessToken().subscribe((token) => {
  const httpOptions = {
    headers: new HttpHeaders({
      Authorization: 'Bearer ' + token,
    }),
  };
});

Revoke the access token​

Access tokens can be revoked using the revokeAccessToken() method. If you provide the access token as a parameter, any access token from the same Security Token Service can be revoked, if the Security Token Service supports the revocation endpoint.

revokeAccessToken() {
  this.oidcSecurityService.revokeAccessToken()
      .subscribe((result) => console.log(result));
}
