hi *,

JSON Web Token (JWT) Profile section 3 [0] explicitely says


The JWT MUST contain a "sub" (subject) claim

Now IMHO there are cases where having the sub is either not needed or redundant 
(since it might overlap with the issuer).\

As far as I can see “even Google” currently violates this spec [1] ( I know 
that this doesn’t matter, just wanted to bring a real use case scenario).

WDYT might the “sub” be optional in some situation?

regards

antonio
