Our project has decided to introduce an API gateway and we going with Kong. I am trying to add **oauth2** plugin to a service that i have created in kong but i am not able to understand its flow when using authorization code flow.  
Also does oauth2 plugin support **JWT tokens** if yes how can we implement it? If it does not support JWT tokens then how can we create our own plugin?  
Also how is oauth2 plugin verifying the generated tokens ?

Hi, if you have existing OAuth2 provider, you can use [custom plugin](https://github.com/TelkomIndonesia/kong-plugin-oauth2-audience) that i’ve made to authenticate with it. Or just use it as reference for developing custom kong plugin.
