I noticed that the GLUU server uses is own implementation of JOSE/JWT/JWE instead of relying on a 3rd-party (open source) library like jose4j or Nimbus. My question is if and how interoperability of the GLUU Server JOSE/JWT/JWE implementation has been tested against other implementations. Are there unit tests for the RFC samples? I am running into an interop issue with Cisco's cjose, that's why.

Actually our decryptor and encryptor rely on Nimbus since 3.1.6. Or to be more exact ``` &lt;groupId&gt;com.nimbusds&lt;/groupId&gt; &lt;artifactId&gt;nimbus-jose-jwt&lt;/artifactId&gt; &lt;version&gt;6.3&lt;/version&gt; ``` We started to move away from own implementation due to compatibility and ongoing corner cases which can consume a lot of time to cover correctly. We have cross test between nimbus, jose and gluu wrapper which shows generic compatibility. On what exactly issue did you run into? Thanks, Yuriy Z

We're still figuring out if its a configuration issue (wrong key...) or a problem with cjose but I was just wondering about the GLUU side of things The cross-testing seems a good approach indeed, although one could argue there's a lot more variations and combinations of algorithms and ciphers that could be included in there. All good for now, thanks. I'll open a new issue if I pinpoint the problem down to GLUU's implementation of a particular alg/enc.
