This code returns null when I call the function:

var username = user.Claims
                   .FirstOrDefault(x => x.Type == JwtRegisteredClaimNames.GivenName)
                   .Value;
return username;

The code returns the logged in user's name when I use this url instead of JwtRegisteredClaimNames.GivenName:

var username = user.Claims
                   .FirstOrDefault(x => x.Type == ";)
                   .Value;
return username;

Is there any other way to make this code work than using this url ?

The string value of JwtRegisteredClaimNames.GivenName is just "given_name".

You should use System.Security.Claims.ClaimTypes.GivenName which is exactly "http://schemas.xmlsoap./ws/2005/05/identity/claims/givenname".

docs

using System.Security.Claims;

var username = user.Claims.FirstOrDefault(x => x.Type == ClaimTypes.GivenName).Value;
return username;
