There is functionality for JWT validation in nginx but its only in the Plus version. But the implementation is very simple.
e.g.
location /products {
auth_jwt "PRODUCT API"
auth_jwt_key_file secret_api.jwk
proxy_pass ...
}
But with open source version you have to use 3rd party like "nginx-jwt" which is a lua script for nginx server to handle JWT based authentication/authorization.
