A collection of extra headers that should be included in the JWT header.

Data Type

string

Default Value

""

Remarks

The string should not contain any single quotes or double quotes and : and | have to be used as delimiters. For example:

JWTHeaders = kid : key_1 | Custom Header 1 : value;

If you need to use more complex values such as JSON objects or arrays, they have to be base64 encoded. For example:

JWTHeaders = kid : key_1 | my : eyJjdXN0b20iOlsianNvbiIsIm9iamVjdCJdfQ==;

By default, not all the headers in the JWT token are validated by the Apache CouchDB (only alg). See the documentation of required_claims for enforcing the validation of additional headers. In that case, you can configure this connection property as well so that the driver includes them when generating the token.
