What problem does it solve?

This Skill simplifies the process of securing your Apache APISIX-managed APIs by enabling robust JSON Web Token (JWT) authentication for your consumers.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • JWT Validation: Authenticate requests by verifying JWT signatures and claims.
  • Flexible Token Lookup: Extract tokens from headers, query parameters, or cookies.
  • Algorithm Support: Supports HMAC, RSA, ECDSA, and EdDSA signing algorithms.
  • Use Case: Protect sensitive API endpoints by ensuring only authenticated users with valid JWTs can access them, integrating seamlessly with your existing authentication providers.

Quick Start

Configure the jwt-auth plugin for a new route to protect it with HS256 token authentication.
