Use OAuth and JWT Access Tokens to authenticate and identify consumers of our APIs

We want to use OAuth and JWT Access Tokens to authenticate and identify consumers of our APIs.

The z/OS Connect API "framework" requires the following capabilities in order to conform to our API requirements:
1. Accept a JWT Base-64 encoded access token; content is JSON; map any required fields to IMS copybook fields, ideally through E4D tooling as opposed to custom coding.
2. API framework ensures JWT token is valid (signature & expiry check) and returns HTTP status code if invalid prior to invoking the API.
{
"status": {
"serverStatusCode": "401",
"severity": "Error",
"additionalStatus": [
{
"statusCode": "401",
"serverStatusCode": "ERROR-INVALID-TOKEN",
"severity": "Error",
"statusDesc": "Unauthorized"
}
]
}
}

    The second part of this requirement can already satisfied with IBM z/OS Connect Enterprise Edition V2.0 or V3.0. IBM z/OS Connect EE supports the validation of JSON Web Token (JWT) through the use of the openidConnectClient-1.0 Liberty feature. This is documented in the following article:
    https://developer.ibm.com/mainframe/docs/securing-apis/using-jwt-zos-connect-ee/

    The first part of the requirement to extract details from within the JWT, such as claims, for the purposes of mapping into fields of the target service remains outstanding. If this aspect of the request is still required, please raise a follow-on RFE for consideration as part of a larger effort to enhance API mapping capabilities.

    This is an underlying Liberty requirement. Bruce will be contacting Gordon Palin to discuss
