Hi @Jameshclai,

The information you've provided so far doesn't help me enough I'm afraid. Here's what I would ask you to do, the ziti cli command has within it a `ziti ops verify ext-jwt-signer` command. You can also test it, and see your token details.

For example here's me using my ext-jwt-signer named "keycloak" and asking to verify authentication:

```auto
ziti ops verify ext-jwt-signer oidc --controller-url $ZITI_ADDR --authenticate keycloak

```

It will print out your ID token details, access token details and refresh token details. These are useful so you can use them to map to your target identity.

I would ask that you confirm you can do this successfully first. If not successful you'll see something like:

You also should look at the ZDEW's 'service' logs (ziti-tunnel.log) along with the controller's logs at that time. It's rediculously easy to misconfigure your ext-jwt-signer.

Before we continue, can you confirm you see a 'login succeeded' message?
