All identity providers are flexible and allow you to add custom claims in the issued access token. IdentityServer4 is no different in this scenario. Here is a short manual how to add custom claims in IdentityServer4 access token response.

	{
		_userManager = userManager;

		var claims = new List<Claim{
			new Claim("custom_claim1", user.CustomClaim1),

Solve identity server signin-oidc 502 Bad Gateway error

It was time to run the Identity Server 4 with the rest of the microservices in the Kubernetes cluster on a dedicated machine. I am running single node cluster, since this is not production, but just one of my pet projects and it is running locally. Still, it is going through one more Nginx (on top of the Kubernetes ingress) used to expose over the internet and create the certificates through Let’s Encrypt.

When I run the Identity Server 4 …
