GitHub user dosubot[bot] added a comment to the discussion: Title: OAuth/OIDC 
Access Token (RS256) Rejected by /api/v1/security/csrf_token/ with "The 
specified alg value is not allowed

<!-- Answer -->
The root cause is that Superset's API authentication for endpoints like 
`/api/v1/security/csrf_token/` only accepts HS256-signed JWTs for Bearer 
tokens, and this is hardcoded in the validation logic. This is separate from 
the OIDC/OAuth UI login flow, which does support RS256. Configuration flags 
such as `JWT_ALGORITHMS`, `JWT_DECODE_ALGORITHMS`, or 
`GUEST_TOKEN_JWT_ALGORITHM` in `superset_config.py` do not affect this API JWT 
validation—only HS256 is allowed, and this cannot be changed via config. 
Accepting RS256-signed JWTs for API Bearer authentication would require code 
changes or a custom security manager implementation. This separation is why 
RS256 tokens work for UI login but are rejected by the API with "The specified 
alg value is not allowed"
