401 when calling Token URL PDS Service

Personal Demographics Service (PDS) Personal Demographics Service FHIR API

Hi,

I am looking for some advice regarding getting the JWT from the integration environment.

I am running the example code from GitHub .

I have also set up the application with access to the PDS service.

However I am getting a 401 when calling the following token URL https://int.api.service.nhs.uk/oauth2/token

As I understand 401 indicates a issue with the API key or the header.

error code
Access token is missing 401 (Unauthorized)
Access token is invalid 401 (Unauthorized)
Access token has expired 401 (Unauthorized)
kid header is invalid 401 (Unauthorized) invalid_request Invalid ‘kid’ header in client_assertion JWT - no matching public key

The Application ID is b877120a-235b-4613-9cec-a1f9cceb6006

Can you advice how best to identify what the issue is?

Hi @ernest.kissiedu1,

The issue was due to the Key missing the KID. I have regenerated the Key and can now connect to the service. Thank you for your help.

Regards,

William
