Hi,
Just completed the Voyage II tutorial. Really liked it :smiley:
However, authentication is done in subgraphs. Wouldn’t it be better to authenticate the token in router once, if the req is passed, make the authorization in subgraphs? Is it possible to config router this way?

Thanks

I got error when supplying jwks_urls as array. Needed to use like

authentication:
  experimental:
    jwt:
      jwks_url: http://localhost:3100/.well-known/jwks.json
      header_name: Authorization
      header_value_prefix: Bearer
      cooldown: 15s
