This PR addresses the discussion in this issue: #561
For people who have historically been using values for the
subclaim other than strings, they may need or want the ability to control PyJWT's new behavior (as of 2.10.0) which is to reject those tokens as invalid.This work adds a new option
JWT_VERIFY_SUBwhich can be used to control theverify_suboption when callingjwt.decode(...)from the PyJWT library.The default value for
JWT_VERIFY_SUBisTrue, which results in thesubclaim being verified. This default results in no change to how the library behaved prior to this addition. By choosing to setJWT_VERIFY_SUBtoFalse, the user can turn off theverify_suboption in thejwt.decodecall.I welcome feedback on the naming or anything else regarding the implementation. Also, please let me know if I missed any places where this needs to be tested or documented. Thanks!
