HTTP Service with JWT Auth

An HTTP service/resource can be secured using JWT and by enforcing authorization optionally. Then, it validates the JWT sent in the Authorization header against the provided configurations.
Ballerina uses the concept of scopes for authorization. A resource declared in a service can be bound to one/more scope(s). The scope can be included in the JWT using a custom claim attribute. That custom claim attribute also can be configured as the scopeKey.
In the authorization phase, the scopes of the service/resource are compared against the scope included in the JWT for at least one match between the two sets.

For more information on the underlying module, see the JWT module.

            keyFile: "../resource/path/to/private.key"

The service can be secured with JWT authentication and can be authorized optionally. JWT authentication can be enabled by setting the http:JwtValidatorConfig configurations. Authorization is based on scopes. A scope maps to one or more groups. Authorization can be enabled by setting the string|string[] type configurations.

 
    resource function get bar() returns string {
        return "Hello, World!";
    }
}

It is optional to override the authentication and authorization configurations at the resource levels. Otherwise, the service auth configurations will be applied automatically to the resources as well.
