Azure-docs: Addition to the "Checking the response" section

[richardspitz]

Alternatively, if the authorization server does not include the "active" field to indicate that the token is valid or not, determine what properties are set in a valid token using a tool like Postman. For example, if a valid token response contains a property called "expires_in", check if this property name exists or not in the authorization server response:

<when condition="@(((IResponse)context.Variables["tokenstate"]).Body.As<JObject>().Property("expires_in") == null)">

@vladvino Any inputs in this ?

[richardspitz]

Adding more context to why I requested this edit. The authorization server I was working with was not returning a property named "active" and this resulted in repeated "500 Internal Server Error". It took me a while to figure out that it was not the authorization server that was returning this error, rather the APIM server was, because it failed to evaluate the policy. Switching to using a field that was being returned in a successful token validation call such as "expires_in" and checking if it was not null (null would indicate that the token was not valid) solved this for us.

@richardspitz It might be easier for you to propose an edit by submitting a PR. I am not quite sure what the problem is based on your description and what action you would like us to take.
