User pod fails to authenticate with JHUB when using the JWT Authenticator

[suryag10]

Hi, We are using an external server for Authentication and once the user is authenticated, JWT is received in the jhub, which contains the authenticated user and using this info user pod is spawned. User when trying to get authenticated with jhub fails to get authenticated as the request is getting forwarded to the external authentication server which should not happen and should get solved internally in the JHUB. Any hints or pointers to solve the issue?
