Closes #1756

Motivation and Context

Context is given in #1756, but the tl;dr is: we use decentralized JWT authentication in our NATS deployment and would like to use the same authentication method for EDFS in Cosmo Router.

Hi @seancribbs, Thanks for your contribution! 🙌 I’d suggest adding an integration test to ensure the auth functionality works as expected. You can find the existing integration tests here: https://github.com/wundergraph/cosmo/blob/main/router-tests/events/nats_events_test.go — there are plenty of useful examples in that file.

Let me know if you’d like any help getting started with the test or if something’s unclear. Happy to assist!

Hi @alepane21, I cannot find any integration tests exercising the other NATS authentication options. Is there somewhere I should look specifically?

Hi @seancribbs,
currently there are no tests covering NATS authentication, so there’s a bit of wiring needed.

You'll likely need to bring up a NATS server with authentication enabled. There’s already a NATS server defined here, but it doesn’t have auth enabled. I believe you’ll need a separate one to avoid breaking the existing tests.

Then, you’ll need to add an option to use the authenticated NATS connection here.

Let me know if you need any help!
