Hi #ktor! I am using Authentication with JWT, and I'm trying to report better errors in certain cases. If the JWT token included in the Authorization header isn't a valid JWT token (misconfigured environment might pass null or empty string) I want to log an error on the server "Missing or Invalid JWT Token". Is there a place I can do this?

Follow up on this: I figured it out; just add a challenge section below your validate {} block, like this

validate {
   ...
}

challenge { _, _ ->
    reportJwtChallengeError(context)
    call.respond(HttpStatusCode.Unauthorized)
}
