Description
From issue:
Ranchers auth proxy can now support authentication of requests that specify a Service Account token in the Authorization Bearer header.
More info/context:
JWT Authentication is also known as Service Account Token Authentication.
This feature, when enabled, lets a user set up a downstream cluster to support authentication, through Rancher, of tokens that are created for a service account that exists on a downstream cluster (those tokens are in the form of a JWT).
Prior to this feature, Rancher would reject such requests because Rancher would only support Rancher-issued tokens (which are NOT JTWs). Some users worked-around this limitation by issuing those requests directly to the downstream cluster, rather than relying on Rancher's auth/security. With this feature enabled, users no longer have to work-around Rancher.
A common use case for this is to enable integration of secret vault solutions (like Hashicorp Vault). You can see the original rancher/rancher issue for more details rancher/rancher#22417.
