Token issues after deployment usually come from configuration mismatches. Common causes include incorrect issuer URLs, audience values, signing keys, or clock drift between systems.
Even small differences between environments can invalidate tokens. Verifying identity provider configuration consistency is often the fastest way to diagnose the issue.
Takeaway: Token security depends heavily on consistent environment configuration.
