How do I use this library? about jwt-framework

[Spomky]

Hi,

First of all, he purpose if this framework and the LexikJWTAuthenticationBundle are not the same.

The LexikJWTAuthenticationBundle is a bundle that provides a firewall to protect an API. The authentication of the users is based on JWT.
This one will help you to manage your keys, key sets or load/issue signed or encrypted tokens. It is supposed to be used by other bundles/applications such as LexikJWTAuthenticationBundle (e.g. spomky-labs/lexik-jose-bridge).

There is no concept of user/firewall/authentication... It can be used to create a secured instant messaging as well as an identity provider (OpenId Connect) or whatever you want that requires confidentiality or non-repudiation of the data.

Regarding the bundle, the documentation may be not clear about that, but the capabilities will depend on the components installed in your application.
If your application needs

• to check claims or headers, you will need the web-token/jwt-checker component
• to sign/verify tokens, you will need the web-token/jwt-signature component
• to encrypt/decrypt tokens, you will need the web-token/jwt-encryption component
• to manage keys/key sets, you will need the web-token/jwt-key-mgmt component
• to use console commands, you will need the web-token/jwt-console component

In any case, you are right to say that a should wrote a list of the services made available by the bundle or the whole configuration reference. I will do it within the next weeks.

Thank you for the reply and clarifications. Now I have a much better understanding on the purpose of this library.

When i try to create a token i get an error: Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to private Jose\Component\Core\AlgorithmManager::__construct() from invalid context in /Volumes/Source/authserver/asp.php:14 Stack trace: #0 {main}
