Description

This PR adds a JWT validation guide to the security documentation.

Motivation:
While JWT support exists in the API reference, there is no practical guide showing how to configure and use it in a gateway setup.

What changed:

  • Added a new JWT validation guide under the security documentation
  • Included examples for configuring issuer and JWKS (remote URL)
  • Covered audience validation and claim propagation
  • Added curl-based testing and troubleshooting guidance

Closes #730


Change Type

/kind documentation


Changelog

Add JWT validation guide to security documentation

Additional Notes

This guide focuses on JWT validation (authentication) and intentionally avoids authorization logic to keep scope aligned with existing documentation patterns.

@AtharvaKathe18 We recently had some JWT additions in other PRs. Can you review what's in there and see if there is anything your PR has that isn't there yet?
