Tomcat JWT Authenticator

Tomcat JWT Authenticator

This extension for Apache Tomcat adds support for RFC 7519 JWT Bearer tokens.

Bearer tokens allow a web client or proxy to pass on the identity of the client to the server.

Example of a plain bearer token sent by a client:

Authorization: Bearer eyJhbGciOiJub25lIn0.eyJpc3MiOiJqb2UiLA0KICJleHAiOjEzMDA4MTkzODAsDQogImh0dHA6Ly9leGFtcGxlLmNvbS9pc19yb290Ijp0cnVlfQ.
