AKHQ REST API authentication

[rsassoon]

Hei people,
I'm working on a service that will use AKHQ REST API to fetch data from givens topics, and at the moment testing locally I'm extracting the JWT token from the browser after performing SSO. I've also worked out some automation to use playwright to speed up the process. It works just fine locally, but I'm wondering what would be the best approach to authenticate when I deploy this service to k8s? Do I need a specific secret generated by AKHQ for my service, generate and sign the token, every x minutes (on expiration) and AKHQ would validate it?
I couldn't find anything for generating extra secrets that could be used in such a way when looking at https://akhq.io/docs/configuration/authentifications/jwt.html. Also not much information from https://akhq.io/docs/api.html.

Any ideas?

Thanks!
