> With Azure AD tenant-independent metadata, claims should be interpreted within the tenant, just as under standard OpenID Connect, claims are interpreted within the issuer. That is, `{"sub":"ABC123","iss":"https://login.microsoftonline.com/8eaef023-2b34-4da1-9baa-8bc8c9d6a490/v2.0","tid":"8eaef023-2b34-4da1-9baa-8bc8c9d6a490"}` and `{"sub":"ABC123","iss":"https://login.microsoftonline.com/82229342-1101-4ab6-817b-70c0747630f3/v2.0","tid":"82229342-1101-4ab6-817b-70c0747630f3"}` describe different users, even though the `sub` is the same, because claims like `sub` are interpreted within the context of the issuer/tenant.

A JWT contains three segments separated by the `.` character. The first segment is the **header**, the second is the **body**, and the third is the **signature**. Use the signature segment to evaluate the authenticity of the token.
