Setup JWT access tokens signed with HS256

[yaskoo]

I'm using hydra 1.10.6 and I'm trying to setup JWT access tokens signed using HS256.
I have set the strategies.access_token configuration to jwt and hydra is now issuing JWT access tokens, but I can't make it to sign them with HS256.
I've tried creating the client using the http api and providing the jwks key, but still tokens are signed with RS256.
Any pointers will be greatly appreciated.

btw, I've read the docs and some best practices on JWTs - I know this is not a great combo, but it's something I have to live with for a while.

Hydra does not support that, it only supports asymmetric keys as otherwise anyone with the secret could forge tokens!

Thanks, that's good to know.
Is there a note somewhere in the docs (didn't see any). Maybe we should add one?

I don't think there is one, we can probably add one here:

https://github.com/ory/docs/blob/master/docs/hydra/jwks.md

would you be up for this?

but im having trouble signing the CLA - I had to change my email in the commit and now the agreement doesn't show

Hello,

If I want to use my private/public keys, is that possible ?
