/oauth2/userinfo

Endpoint that returns claims about the authenticated end user, as defined in OpenID Connect Core 1.0 incorporating errata set 1.

When requesting claims, provide an access token granted in an OpenID Connect flow as an authorization bearer header. The endpoint will return the claims associated with the scopes granted when the access token was requested.

You must compose the path to the user information endpoint addressing the specific realm where AM logged in the user. For example, https://openam.example.com:8443/openam/oauth2/realms/root/realms/subrealm1/userinfo.

The following example shows AM returning claims about a user:

$ curl \
--request GET \
--header "Authorization: Bearer U-Wjlv-w1jtpuBVWUGFV6PwI_nE" \
"https://openam.example.com:8443/openam/oauth2/realms/root/userinfo"
{
    "given_name":"Demo First Name",
    "family_name":"Demo Last Name",
    "name":"demo",
    "sub":"demo"
}

If the access token validates successfully, the endpoint returns the claims as JSON.

The user information endpoint can return claims as JSON (the default) or as a signed, encrypted, or signed and encrypted JWT. To configure the response type, perform the following steps:
