Description

After discussing with the team, I received advice for a better approach than having users issue JWTs themselves.

Instead of users manually generating tokens, I will follow the standard structure where a JWT server issues tokens. However, the process for obtaining the token (similar to the login process in traditional web services) will involve users signing a specific random value with their private key and sending it.

This approach simplifies the process for users by eliminating the need to handle token issuance, expiration, and service-specific details themselves, making it as seamless as a typical web login.

Research direction

The issue describes a proposed JWT server and a private-key signing flow but names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the authentication and token-issuance code, then clarify the protocol and acceptance criteria with the team before implementation.
