ASP.Net MVC and WebApi authentication using Identity server

I am new to Identity server and wants to secure my two apps (MVC, Webapi) using it. I have seen the example where we can invoke the webapi from MVC action method and SetBearerToken that was issued to the the MVC application. I am referring the below sample:

https://identityserver.github.io/Documentation/docsv2/overview/mvcGettingStarted.html

This is typical example of server to server communication where we are using access token issued to the MVC app for Web api.

In the same scenario, I want to call webapi from Javascript client(fro ex Angular or any one) using same access token.

"I want to pass the the access token issued to the MVC application to call WebAPI from JavaScript"

How can I utilize the token that was issued to my MVC application from the JavaScript client?

Thanks

They should be treated as different client in my opinion, I guess they are different site? For your Javascript client you should be able to find example here , you can use the javascript lib that provided in the example or write one yourself

Once you get the token, then you can call your API using AJAX, where you might face CORS problem if your webapi is on a different domain, well...that is different topic.

Hope that helps
