[jira] [Created] (KNOX-1834) I wish that Knox passed signed JWTs to
backend services
John Ruiz created KNOX-1834:
-------------------------------
Summary: I wish that Knox passed signed JWTs to backend services
Key: KNOX-1834
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KNOX-1834
Project: Apache Knox
Issue Type: Wish
Reporter: John Ruiz
My understanding based on reading the User's Guide is that Knox will assert the authenticated user/client to a backend REST API by adding user.name to the query or form parameters sent to the backend service.
I wish that I could configure Knox to instead assert the authenticated user via a signed JWT in the Authentication header sent to the backend service.
In this way, I would be able to receive asserted groups that were 'looked up' when the user /client authenticated to Knox.
