I can create a Custom Token using the Firebase Admin SDK. Strangely though, the returned Custom Token only has the head and body parts of the dot-separated JWT. I confirmed (usin jwt.io), that the empty tail, is an "Invalid Signature" (jwt.io CAN parse the head and body).

# Actual string format - head.body.<empty-signature>
eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJzdWIiOiIxMjM0NTY3ODkwIiwibmFtZSI6IkpvaG4gRG9lIiwiaWF0IjoxNTE2MjM5MDIyfQ.

So that when I try to use Firebase Auth to exchange a Custom token for an ID and refresh token, I get an INVALID_CUSTOM_TOKEN. This fails for both these endpoints.

error result

{:error
 {:code 400,
  :message "INVALID_CUSTOM_TOKEN",
  :errors
  [{:message "INVALID_CUSTOM_TOKEN",
    :domain "global", 
    :reason "invalid"}]}}

How can I troubleshoot this? I don't see a way in Firebase's Admin SDK, to sign the token.
