ME-ID, B2C and Microsoft Entra External Identities

[skywalkerisnull]

Description

Hello,

The flow of these documents is excellent, and I was up and running in about 45 minutes, however one point of confusion that caused me quite a few hours is the differences between ME-ID, B2C, and ME-External ID. Unless someone already has B2C, they cannot register for B2C and they must use the Entra External. I assumed that whenever the documents mentioned B2C they were refereeing to the Tenant Type B2C and anywhere it was mentioned as ME-ID, it included the Workforce, and External type.

The main place that it causes real confusion is in the MinimalApiJwt project where the documentation is not the same as what was needed.

This is the format that I needed to use:

jwtOptions.Authority = "https://login.microsoftonline.com/aaaabbbb-0000-cccc-1111-dddd2222eeee/v2.0/";
jwtOptions.Audience = "11112222-bbbb-3333-cccc-4444dddd5555";

However, everywhere else followed the same ME-ID options.

The specific set of errors I was getting were 401's and took me a bit to grab the JWT, and compare it to what is going on. It may be worth having a section at the bottom in the troubleshooting showing how to grab the JWT and comparing the values to what we are using.
