Description
The changes introduce a new parameter to jwt-auth plugin's route schema:
store_in_ctx
. If set totrue
(default isfalse
) the plugin will store the validated JWT object in the request context.This feature is useful especially for custom plugins. For example, my company is currently using a custom ACL plugin, based on Casbin (lua-casbin), that parses a JWT to extract permissions.
Therefore, I would say this feature is useful for at least for two reasons:
hide_credential = true
configuration), this provides another way to pass the token, without exposing it;jwt-auth
plugin already does.Fixes #11281
