Description
JWT validation was previously handled by the
keycloak-connect
package. This PR replaces thekeycloak-connect
-based implementation with one usingjsonwebtoken
.keycloak-connect
has been deprecated since 2022.In addition, authentication errors now return a HTTP 401 instead of a HTTP 500. A detailed error message was already present in the 500, but nonetheless it's still better to return an actual 401 instead.
