Using PhenixID OpenIDConnect HTTP API for OpenIDConnect UserInfo

Overview

This API is used to get additional user claims (attributes) based on the logged-in user. To retreive the userInfo, the api client must submit the access_token returned from previous call to the API, normally using the token endpoint.

To use the API, one method is called. It will return:

- HTTP Status code 200 if access_token is still valid. UserInfo will be returned

- HTTP Status code 403 if access_token is not valid.  

Prerequisites

userinfo - data to be fetched before api call

The api client must fetch this value:
