Can't get ID token even with Auth code flow via Postman

I am trying to get ID token and Refresh token along with access token from Azure AD app via Postman by using below parameters:
GET
https://login.microsoftonline.com/mytenant_id/oauth2/v2.0/token
client_id='myclient_id'
&client_secret='myclient_secret'
&grant_type=authorization_code
&scope=https://graph.microsoft.com/.default
&redirect_uri=https://jwt.ms
I am able to get the access token, but not sure why I am not getting ID token and Refresh token along with it.
Atfirst, I tried with client_credentials flow, but I came to know I have to use auth code flow or OpenID Connect in order to get those tokens.
So I shifted to auth code flow. But still I'm getting access token only:(
I have also enabled the below options in the Portal
What else settings are needed to get the tokens? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Edited:
I have given below API permissions:
Please note that, getting ID token and Refresh token along with access token depends on the scope/API permissions you grant to the application as mentioned in this MsDoc.
I tried to reproduce the same in my environment and added scopes like below:
After adding the openid and offline_access in the scope, I got all tokens successfully like below:

How does Djoser JWT login flow works

So I've been trying to use Djoser JWT and I don't know how to login in it. As far as I know you create a request with your login credentials to this url /jwt/create/ and get the access and refresh token and maybe get the user object from /users/me/. This is where I got stuck, where do I go from here?
You correctly understood the first step of the process. Basically, you can now:
Add the access token in the header of your next requests.
This will transparently authenticate the user thanks to the Simple JWT plugin and you will be able to access him with the usual request.user in the views.
Refresh the access token each time you get a 401 response.
The access token is supposed to be short-living for security concerns and a 401 response from the server indicates that the one your are using is expired. So you have to get a new one by sending the refresh token to the token/refresh/ API and, then, make your request again.
You can read this article if you need more detailed explanations about this process or JWT.

How do I give a Facebook App privileges to post to a Facebook Page (I own both)?

I don't understand something important about permissions and how to grant them. I've made a Facebook page, and I've made an app. I would like the app to be able to post to the page.
Below is my code. I'm using the fb_graph ruby gem, btw (https://github.com/nov/fb_graph)
app = FbGraph::Application.new('531508086900000000', :secret => 'd705fda7275125913a10000000000')
token = app.get_access_token
page = FbGraph::Page.new('000000000000000')
note = page.note!( :access_token => token, :subject => 'testing', :message => 'Hey, testing you!')
And this is the error:
FbGraph::Unauthorized: OAuthException :: (#200) Requires extended permission: publish_actions
I've looked everywhere I can think of on both the app and the page settings but can't figure out how to do this. Help appreciated!
You need to grant access via a user access token.
The current token in your case is an application access token.
Use one of the methods listed at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/facebook-login/permissions/v2.1#adding
Specifically https://developers.facebook.com/docs/facebook-login/manually-build-a-login-flow/v2.1#login
I voted up phwd's answer for the help s/he was to me here and in IRC. But it still wasn't really enough information to make sense of why this is so hard. I've decided to post my current working understanding of how this works. These are just my own notes, so I'm sorry in advance for anything unintelligible.
So, getting the right access tokens is f***ing hard, and here's my current understanding:
In order to get a token that last forever so that my app can post to a page I have to do this:
1. Create a short-lived user access token with the right scope for the app (manage_pages, publish_actions) using the explorer
- page access tokens can be obtained via /me/accounts from the explorer page
- if the user access token that is "live" during the /me/accounts request is short lived then this page access token will be too
- if it is an extended long-lived token the page access token will have no expiry according to https://developers.facebook.com/docs/facebook-login/access-tokens
2. Extend short-lived user access token to a long-lived one via a graph api call, also using exploer (see below)
3. Execute the /me/accounts call to get a page token that doesn't expire
How to get a long lived user access token
oauth/access_token?grant_type=fb_exchange_token&client_id=531------------&client_secret=e005f031ba3d98------------------&fb_exchange_token=CAAHjZA163IbMBAMKSeFTmeV9------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------fonA4P4bPhhdveMLvZBKldEGCB7EvF301wQv1YPrudy5kvI
where
client_id = App Id
&client_secret = App Secret
&fb_exchange_token = short lived user access token via explorer with proper scope
This gives you the following long lived access token
access_token=CAAHjZA163Ib---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ehS8g2ZBYU8uZBPmdMay3AAj5tXgAZDZD&expires=5179843
This is an extended user access_token
This token can be used to post to the page it was genrated for.
It can also be used to get a no-expiry page access token when used to issue /me/accounts
from facebook :
Page Access Token
These access tokens are similar to user access tokens, except that they provide permission to APIs that read, write or modify the data belonging to a Facebook Page. To obtain a page access token you need to start by obtaining a user access token and asking for the manage_pages permission. Once you have the user access token you then get the page access token via the Graph API.

Facebook: Get User Access Token using Facebook.Json

I have some C# code that retrieves an access token using Facebook.JsonObject and can post to my profile wall on facebook with no problems.
However, if I try to use that same access token to retrieve details of my facebook business pages so I can post to them, then I get the message "user access token is required to request this resource".
I thought the access token I had retrieved that allowed me to post to my profile was a user access token. What is the difference, and how do I get a user access token?
This is the code I am using to get the access token:
facebook.JsonObject AuthResult = (Facebook.JsonObject)Oauth.GetApplicationAccessToken(parameters);
object Access_Token = "";
AuthResult.TryGetValue("access_token", out Access_Token);
FacebookClient FBClient = new FacebookClient(Access_Token.ToString());
More information:
I need my customer's c# application to post directly to my customer's facebook business page via code without the application "allow access" box popping up and any redirects to applicatoins taking place. Therefore I need to get the User Access Token programatically without facebook being logged in or open etc.
Any (non-sarcastic) help very gratefully received.
Thanks
I thought the access token I had retrieved that allowed me to post to my profile was a user access token.
Does that method name,
(Facebook.JsonObject)Oauth.GetApplicationAccessToken(parameters);
===========
really sound to you as if it was supposed to give back a user access token? Sorry, but to me it doesn’t …

Facebook API get user accesstoken for app

I am posting to my facebook wall through my app using my user.
I gave to the app offline access but still, sometimes the accesstoken changes.
I would like to know if its possible to use Facebook API to get the accesstoken?
Right now, I used the example.php from the facebook sdk to login and took the accesstoken from there.
again, I dont want the application accesstoken. I want to user accesstoken of using the app.
Thanks.
There is App Login section in Authorization paragraph in https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/ .
Read it. You have to call it if you get invalid access token error in order to refresh the token. However, sometimes the token is invalid due to lack of permissions and not because the token is expired
