JWT Signer

Added support for additional claim validations, including notbefore, issuer, subject, and audience.

Added new options to support claim existence verification: access_channel_token_(introspection_)required_claims. The specified claims must be present in the token payload.

Added new options to support optional claim verification: access_channel_token_(introspection_)optional_claims. The specified claims are verified only if they are present.

Added new options access_token_signing and channel_token_signing to quickly turn on and off token signing or re-signing.

Fixed an issue where data planes didn’t use the keys passed from the control plane to sign/re-sign.

Fixed an issue where the jwt-signer plugin failed to upsert jwks if the jwks contains extra custom fields.

Supported /jwt-signer/jwks endpoint in dbless mode

Supported /jwt-signer/jwks/:jwt_signer_jwks endpoint in dbless mode.

supports basic auth and mtls auth to external jwks services

The plugin now supports periodically rotating the jwks. For example, to autmatically rotate access_token_jwks_uri, you can set the config access_token_jwks_uri_rotate_period

The plugin now supports adding the original JWT(s) to the upstream request header by specifying the names of the upstream request header with original_access_token_upstream_header and original_channel_token_upstream_header. And access_token_upstream_header, channel_token_upstream_header, original_access_token_upstream_header, and original_channel_token_upstream_header should not have the same value.

Support pseudo json value in add_claims and set_claims for JWT-Signer. We can achieve the goal of passing multiple values to a key by passing a JSON string as the value. And add add_access_token_claims, set_access_token_claims, add_channel_token_claims, set_channel_token_claims for individually adding claims to access tokens and channel tokens. Additionally, add remove_access_token_claims and remove_channel_token_claims to support the removal of claims.

support for consumer group scoping by using pdk kong.client.authenticate function

Added the configuration field add_claims, which lets you add extra claims to JWT.

Improved Plugin Documentation: Revised docs for the following plugins to include examples:

• OpenID Connect
• Rate Limiting Advanced
• SAML
• StatsD

Improved Plugin Documentation: JWT Signer

The anonymous field can now be configured as the username of the consumer. This field allows you to configure a string to use as an “anonymous” consumer if authentication fails.

Updated the priority for some plugins.: jwt-signer changed from 999 to 1020.

Fixed the error attempt to call local 'err' (a string value).

Implement the enable_hs_signatures option to enable JWTs signed with HMAC algorithms

Fixed an issue where the enable_hs_signatures configuration parameter did not work. The plugin now defines expiry earlier to avoid arithmetic on a nil value.
