Hey everyone! 🙂 We want to use nakama as our one-stop authentication service. As such we have the need for a JWK endpoint that return the information needed to verify the validity of a jwt token generated by nakama in our other services. Is such an endpoint available? And if not how could I create my own? 🙏 ---

Hello @MWFIAE, An endpoint for JWT validation is not available, but you can create your own replicating the logic the server users to [validate them](https://github.com/heroiclabs/nakama/blob/master/server/api.go#L476). Best ---

Yes from what I have gathered the jwts used by nakama for authentication only offer symmetrical encryption, so its impossible to have a jwk for that. Instead one has to generate a priv/pub key pair and use that in a custom rpc to generate a jwt and also use the pub key to generate a jwk that can be used by other services for validation. All in all more effort but seemingly doable
