Guides

• Protect API routes — Protect endpoints globally or individually with groups
• Introspect Access Tokens — Validate tokens via the authorization server's introspection endpoint
• Validate mTLS Bound Tokens — mTLS certificate-bound token validation
• Use multiple schemes — Register multiple authentication schemes to protect APIs with different audiences
• Add a custom cache — Cache introspection results to reduce validation overhead
