Added support for JWT authentication of REST API requests.
To use the JWT authentication the client should send Authorization header with Bearer token.
The Bearer token contains the JWT signed with the client certificate.
The JWT token must have the following content:
{
"sub":"axxxxxxxx",
"exp":1710288000,
"nbf":1710201600,
"iat":1710201600
}
The sub parameter contains the client certificate fingerprint, calculated as the SHA256 checksum of the raw certificate.
The authentication of the API request checks for the presence of the Authorization header and if it is present and contains valid JWT token, uses the subject to find the trusted client certificate and verifies the JWT signature.
