UA Gateway plugins

I could see a plugin information dialog if I click Configuration Tool -> Settings -> Plugins. Is there a possibility of extending the gateway by implementing a plugin to provide JWT token-based authentication and custom authorization?
Or any other way to provide authorization at the gateway level?

Hi,
the Configuration-Tool of the UaGateway is nothing more than just a standard UA Client. The UaGateway is configured via OPC UA information model nodes and UA method calls. For doing the configuration of UaGateway the Configuration-Client must support the DI (device integration) companion specification. The Plugin you can see in the Configuration Tool is the (specualized) standardized DI View. This has nothing to do with any JSON Webtoken.
The UaGateway supports authorization already (but not the webtoken), you can use the Administration Tool to configure the UaGateway allowing Windows-Users for certain operations, furthermore you can configure the UaGateway for (OPC UA like) x509 certificate usage, including user-certifcates for authorization.
