Usage

To generate a token, you need to pass in issuer, client_id, client_secret, username and password as parameters

	>>> from okta_jwt.jwt import generate_token
	>>> generate_token(issuer, client_id, client_secret, username, password)

This generates and returns Okta Access Token.

To Validate the Access Token, you need to pass in the access_token, issuer, audience and client_ids as parameters. You can pass in multiple Client IDs

	>>> from okta_jwt.jwt import validate_token
	>>> validate_token(access_token, issuer, audience, client_ids)

If the token is valid then it will return the payload.

$ python -m unittest
