jwks2pem
read jwks from stdin and write PEM to stdout
What is it for?
OpenID Connect identity providers have a JWT keyset endpoint.
The most widely used JWT validation library in golang wants a PEM public key.
Converting them is a PITA, and I've wasted time figuring out the magic openssl incantations for the last time now.
How to use it?
If you clone this repository outside your GOPATH, go build -o jwks2pem main.go should produce an simple executable
that takes care of the conversion for you.
It reads a jwks from standard input, and writes the PEM format of all keys in the set to stdout, so you can do
curl -s <jwks-url> | ./jwks2pem
Note: if your public keys in the key set aren't RSA keys, you will have to make a rather obvious change
to the code. Just replace the &rsa.PublicKey{} with the appropriate type.
