Closes #14971
This introduces the
jsonweb
package which contains types for parsing JWTs into a type suitable for use as aninfluxdb.Authorizer
. This opens up the ability to start work on jwt based authentication in the API.The original issue imagined an authorizer type. However, this has evolved into the form of a token type which happens to implement Authorizer interface. The next piece of work will be to integrate this into https://github.com/influxdata/influxdb/blob/master/http/authentication_middleware.go#L104
Update: I have a draft PR of the next piece of work which based on this one here #15151
These could also be merged if that is more preferrable.
