Is it possible to cal IdentityServer4 API to issue a token?

When I host Identity Server in my Service it exposes '/connect/token' endpoint which I can call with IdentityModel library.

Is it possible to access IS4 services directly?

Something like this:

someIS4Service.IssueTokenAsync(subj, claims, ...other params...) where someIS4Service is simply injected with ASP.NET Core DI.

So created tokens are automatically persisted in DB, as they would if endpoint were accessed?

Technically that's possible, but with a bit more work than a simple call: you may look for ITokenResponseGenerator in the DI and invoke the ProcessAsync method, but you have to provide a pre-processed TokenRequestValidationResult.

As a service you most likely do not need that. You might need to create an access token to perform a service-to-service call and that's easy to do with IdentityServerTools (no persistence, no session handling, just an easy approach to jwt generation).
