Is there anyway we can pass custom jsonwebtoken config to Payload?

I want to use asymmetric algorithm such as RSA with jwt for public-private key signing. Couldn't find anything in the docs. Any suggestions would be appreciated 🙏😅

Hey @rishi-afk — as of right now we use passport-jwt for everything JWT.

We could probably expose options via Auth-enabled Collection configs for passport-jwt.

http://www.passportjs.org/packages/passport-jwt/

Do you see what you need here, in the JWTStrategy options? If so, we could try and inject custom collection auth options into the plugin within this file:

https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/blob/master/src/auth/strategies/jwt.ts#L14

What do you think?

Hey @jmikrut thanks for the quick reply!

Yes I just read it and we can provide an algorithm in the passport-jwt options.

We are already injecting secretOrKey into this file
https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/blob/master/src/auth/strategies/jwt.ts#L11

So then we could also inject all the password-jwt options
for a collection into the plugin within the same file.
