I was working on migrating to Ktor and in our microservices I need to call external rest webservice to validate my Jwt token. Any idea about how to achieve this with Ktor??

☝️ you should be able to call the service as you would with anything else.

Ah.. may be I should be bit more clearer on my question. It's not about http client.. can I use Jwt auth provided by Ktor or should I use my custom feature?

If you have a separate service to validate JWTs then I think you'd want to make the service request with it.
The JWT library seems like it's for authorizing requests using PKI
