The Microsoft identity platform can issue v1.0 tokens and v2.0 tokens. For more information about these tokens, refer to Access tokens.
The token version your API may accept depends on your Supported account types selection when you create your web API application registration in the Azure portal.
- If the value of Supported account types is Accounts in any organizational directory and personal Microsoft accounts (such as Skype, Xbox, Outlook.com), the accepted token version must be v2.0.
- Otherwise, the accepted token version can be v1.0.
After you create the application, you can determine or change the accepted token version by following these steps:
- In the Microsoft Entra admin center, select your app and then select Manifest.
- Find the property accessTokenAcceptedVersion in the manifest.
- The value specifies to Microsoft Entra which token version the web API accepts.
- If the value is 2, the web API accepts v2.0 tokens.
- If the value is null, the web API accepts v1.0 tokens.
- If you changed the token version, select Save.
The web API specifies which token version it accepts. When a client requests a token for your web API from the Microsoft identity platform, the client gets a token that indicates which token version the web API accepts.
