JWT gitlab OmniAuth provider setup support

[rinshadka]

Hi, how to integrate jwt authentication with gitlab. Is there any provider for jwt to register. Or should we need to create our own service with jwt libraries?

Gone through this link - https://github.com/mbleigh/omniauth-jwt#usage, Is there any documentation or reference regarding this implementation?

Please help
Thanks

Hi @rinshadka

Not totally sure if I understand your question or problem, but the ruby-jwt GEM is used only to encode and decode JWT tokens using various algorithms.

It's not per se an authentication provider.

@rinshadka related issue #340 where ruby-jwt is used with omniauth-jwt. You have to ask the creator of omniauth-jwt for documentation or reference regarding the omniauth-jwt gem.

Closing this. If there are some needs for improving the documentation we are open for suggestions.
