"TL;DR"
I was developing dgraph locally and using the firebase emulator as an auth provider.
But I had to disable the authentication layer on my local environment because dgraph doesn't support the JWT none signing method.
This method is being used in the firebase emulator to generate unsigned tokens to use during development and is only able to generate these using the emulator and cannot be adjusted to created actual signed tokens.
But I would love to actually test authentication in dgraph locally as well using the emulated firebase authentication flow. So to solve this I am making this pull request to enable the "none" signing algorithm in the supported algorithm list in dgraph auth.
I haven't tested the implementation yet will do that later this week. But feel free to review and let me know if this is worth pursuing or requires a totally different approach.|
Thanks in advance for the review
