System.IdentityModel.Tokens.Jwt 4.0.4.402070948 is not compatible?

[ahokkonen-dev]

After upgrading IdentityServer3.AccessTokenValidation 2.13.0->2.14.0 in my WebApi -project I also upgraded System.IdentityModel.Tokens.Jwt -library 4.0.3.308261200->4.0.4.402070948.

Right after that next error started to occur:

An exception of type 'System.IO.FileLoadException' occurred in mscorlib.dll but was not handled in user code

Additional information: Could not load file or assembly 'System.IdentityModel.Tokens.Jwt, Version=4.0.20622.1351, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' or one of its dependencies. The located assembly's manifest definition does not match the assembly reference. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131040)

Error throws on WebApi's Startup.cs:

            app.UseIdentityServerBearerTokenAuthentication(new IdentityServerBearerTokenAuthenticationOptions
            {
                Authority = "identityauthority endpoint",
                RequiredScopes = new[] { "secure.api" }
            });

Wondering why v4.0.20622.1351 is now required when it was earlier ok with v4.0.3.308261200. Also interesting that missed version is mentioned as 4.0.20622.1351, not 4.0.2.206221351

Any clues?

Hmm, not sure. We've not seen that issue before. Sorry.

It magically solved by updating all owin -libraries to latest version 3.1.0.
Looks like Microsoft.Owin.Security.Jwt library v3.0.1 had (forced?) references to 4.0.20622.1351 verson
