External JWT Signers allow external identity providers to facilitate authentication with a network. External JWT Signers can be added as a static x509 certificate or via a JWKS endpoint. Authenticating clients can provide a JWT as a primary authentication mechanism to obtain an API Session. Additionally, the JWT can be required on all REST API calls if desired by using an Authentication Policy that requires it as a secondary factor.
