JarCastingFake JWT Auth Server
Overview
This library creates a web server that you can use to fake a real JWT token auth server.
If you are not familiar with JSON Web Key (JWK) or JSON Web Token (JWT) there is a good overview and description here.
The fake web server provides two endpoints that are described below:
.well-known/jwks.jsonthat returns a JWK set containing a single key definition/oauth/tokenthat returns a JWT signed with the key returned from the above endpoint
If you are building an application that uses JWTs for accessing secured endpoints, you can configure your application to point at the JWKs endpoint, so that it can use the JWK to decode the JWT bearer token that you provide in your request. Then when you want to call your secured endpoint you can call the JWT endpoint to generate the token to use in your Authorization header.
