In microservice architecture how to setup jwt with refresh token mechanism?
Our system has one frontend and multiple backends, so I need jwt config. In the docs, I saw the JWT plugin. It just give the token and jwks URI endpoint. How does the refresh token mechanism work here?

the session token you use to fetch the jwt serves as a refersh token in this sense
ok. does this session token auto refresh?. im using only APIs in front end.
ok I got it. i have to periodcally hit the token endpoint and get new jwt token.
until the session token it valid it will give me new token. Am I right?
or if the backend service give 401 with the expired jwt token. i will hit the /token endpoint to get new jwt token.
yes
thanks for your amazing work. Really appreciate.
