Predictable auth precedence: JWT is now preferred over security key

Dirk BrandCommunity contributor

December 19, 20251 min read

When both JWT and security key authentication are enabled, JWT now takes precedence. This standardizes behavior, reduces ambiguity for clients, and aligns with common enterprise security practices.

Details:

  • No change if only one method is in use
  • For deployments using both, ensure clients present a valid JWT after upgrade
  • Improves governance and reduces authorization edge cases

Who this is for: Security and platform administrators, API consumers, and teams operating shared gateways.
