I'm trying to integrate microsoft sign in into my app. I've got a backend endpoint that handles the auth redirect and exchanges the auth code for an ID Token and an Access Token. I've heard that some OIDC implementations don't require validating an ID Token. Does my set up sound like it should be doing this? If so, how do I validate these tokens? I'm planning on using this library https://github.com/auth0/node-jsonwebtoken which allows you to do jwt.verify(token, 'secret') but I can't figure out what 'secret' to use. Is this my client secret? Or something else?
