[slurm-users] External Authentication Integration with JWKS and RS256 Tokens

Coming back to this, it is failing again and I don't know why.

/slurmctld: error: failed to verify jwt, rc=22//
//slurmctld: error: could not find matching kid or decode failed/

The kids seem to match and python code I have verifies the jwt with the 
jwks. Does anyone have any ideas on what the issue might be? The jwks 
can be found at the following URL.

https://auth.cern.ch/auth/realms/cern/protocol/openid-connect/certs

Cheers,

Laurence
