Pluggable JWT validator to blueprints about datacube-ows HOT 2 CLOSED

Hi. We have no interest in an authentication layer for OWS, but if you would like to contribute an implementation, I'd be happy to review it and potentially merge it into the main codebase.

My initial comments/preferences would be:

1. Firstly, this sounds like something that might be better implemented in infrastructure/dev-ops outside of OWS and Flask, particularly if you are deploying to a cloud-deployed environment. If you identify a simple reproducible approach that doesn't involve code-changes I'd be happy to add some information about it to the OWS documentation in case others have similar requirements in future.
2. If implemented in OWS, it should be inactive by default and activated via environment variables.
3. Please do not add additional dependencies. Installations that do not use the validator should not need to install the relevant additional libraries - they should be conditionally imported only when required.
4. Minimal JWT as you suggest seems reasonable.

Hello Paul, thanks for replying me be back. Actually, I wrote the issue in the wrong repo. I just wanted to propose what I proposed in the ODC explorer, not in OWS.
In general, I agree with you: in OWS doesn't seems to have much sense adding this layer.
Let me re-think about it and I'll eventually open the issue in the future.

Sorry again,
Best
