Authenticating with a token and user/pass in NATS JetStream resources

[ghstahl]

should be part of this old one

Nats connecting by token

// Set a token
nc, err := nats.Connect("127.0.0.1", nats.Name("API Token Example"), nats.Token("mytoken"))
if err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
}
defer nc.Close()

// Do something with the connection

Current

 auth:
      nkey_file: ./seed.nk # No default (optional)
      nkey: "" # No default (optional)
      user_credentials_file: ./user.creds # No default (optional)
      user_jwt: "" # No default (optional)
      user_nkey_seed: "" # No default (optional)

I am currently using a token to connect which is handled by our AuthCallout.

When using auth callout in nats I am able to pass my token as the password in the username/password option.

usernameHanlder := nats.UserInfo("mapped", token)

nc, err := nats.Connect(request.NATSUrl, usernameHanlder)

Its a hack, but I have seen microsoft azure do the same thing where they do some basic auth where the user is some static thing, and the password is the encoded token.

I am trying to get it to work where I pass a userJWT where it really isn't a jwt but mytoken. I think nats intercepts this and doesn't pass it to the callout. If this works then I can use existing benthos and just overload user_jwt: "" # No default (optional)
