Users and NKey users will now have the option to specify a list of allowed connection types. This will allow for instance a certain user to be allowed to connect as a standard NATS client, but not as Websocket, or vice-versa. This also fixes the websocket auth override. Indeed, with the original behavior, the websocket users would have been bound to $G, which would not work when there are accounts defined, since when that is the case, no app can connect/bind to $G account.

@derekcollison I have completely changed the approach with a list of connection types allowed for given user/nkey. We updated the JWT library to provide this new field in the JWT and some constants. |

@matthiashanel Thanks for that because it made me realize that in the case of JWT coming with an unknown type, we should not automatically fail the connection. See the big comment that I added in auth.go and let me know if you agree or not. |
We were doing option validation from options parsing, but added it also for Users/NKeyUsers options. Signed-off-by: Ivan Kozlovic <ivan@synadia.com>

@matthiashanel Sorry, I added yet another commit: do validation of options for users that embed NATS Server in their app and would configure Users/NKeys directly. (I will squash all those commits at time of merge) |
