# Which Problems Are Solved
System API users currently authenticate using raw RSA public keys
configured via Path or KeyData. This approach doesn't integrate well
with Kubernetes tooling.
# How the Problems Are Solved
Allow for the `path`/`keyData` to be an X.509 certificate.
The `NotBefore` and `NotAfter` fields of the certificate are beeing
respected when validating the JWT.
