FISH-615 Allow JWT verification to skip type validation
Description
This is a minor improvement to make the MP JWT Authentication module to accept tokens generated without the
typ
claim in its header. Currently, the specification requires this claim to be present at all times, but NOT all modern third-party services generate tokens with this claim, as the corresponding RFC for JWT sets it as optional:This PR introduces a custom property called disable.type.verification that turn’s this validation
ON/OFF
, which can be defined in the custom payara-mp.-jwt.properties file.It is important to note that next versions of the specification are already defining "recommended" claims, which means that this behaviour will become standardized in the next iteration of the specification.
Testing Performed
No tests present as there is no testing infrastructure for the MP JWT Auth module
