Changes
This PR adds support for specifying an asymmetric key for the purposes of signing a client assertion JWT to authenticate with Auth0, as an alternative to
client_secret
. See Private Key Jwt.With these changes, the SDK accepts two new arguments on client creation:
client_assertion_signing_key
: A key used for signing the client assertion JWT (the corresponding public key should be uploaded to your Auth0 tenant)client_assertion_signing_alg
: The signing algorithm to use (defaults toRS256
if not specifiedThe
client_secret
argument can then be omitted. If bothclient_secret
andclient_assertion_signing_key
are specified, the latter takes precedence.The key can be anything accepted by
ruby-jwt
.Testing
Please describe how this can be tested by reviewers. Be specific about anything not tested and reasons why. If this library has unit and/or integration testing, tests should be added for new functionality and existing tests should complete without errors.
