Custom Authentication method

WIP ...

Service-to-service JWT Authentication

Enable JWT authentication middleware by including the following configuration in your config file:

"authentication": {
  "type": "jwt",
  "jwt": {
    "secret": "my secret"
  }
}

Generate an API token:

$ ./scripts/generate-api-token --service-name "My Service" --admin-email [email protected] --secret "my secret"

eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJzZXJ2aWNlIjoiTXkgU2VydmljZSIsImVtYWlsIjoiYWRtaW5AbXktc2VydmljZS5vcmciLCJ0eXBlIjoic2VydmljZSIsImlhdCI6MTUzMjQyNjg2NywiaXNzIjoiSGVhcnRoIn0.bQomDjWkwSrTyYAiX917kiKZvbsh9httwqRGEMvqZak

Include the Authorization header in Hearth API calls with the Bearer token set to the token output by the script:

curl -X GET \\
  https://myhearth.org/fhir/Person/222222 \\
  -H "Authorization: Bearer eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJzZXJ2aWNlIjoiTXkgU2VydmljZSIsImVtYWlsIjoiYWRtaW5AbXktc2VydmljZS5vcmciLCJ0eXBlIjoic2VydmljZSIsImlhdCI6MTUzMjQyNjg2NywiaXNzIjoiSGVhcnRoIn0.bQomDjWkwSrTyYAiX917kiKZvbsh9httwqRGEMvqZak"
