+# JWT Validation Middleware
+
+JWT Validation Middleware is a middleware plugin for [Traefik](https://github.com/containous/traefik) which verifies a JWT token in Auth header, Cookie or Query param, and adds the payload as injected header to the request.
+
+## Configuration
+
+Start with command
+```yaml
+command:
+  - "--experimental.plugins.jwt-middleware.modulename=github.com/legege/jwt-middleware"
+  - "--experimental.plugins.jwt-middleware.version=v0.1.0"
+```
+
+Activate plugin in your config  
+
+```yaml
+http:
+  middlewares:
+    my-jwt-middleware:
+      plugin:
+        jwt-middleware:
+          secret: SECRET
+          payloadHeader: X-Jwt-Payload
+          authQueryParam: authToken
+          authCookieName: authToken
+```
+
+Use as docker-compose label  
+```yaml
+  labels:
+        - "traefik.http.routers.my-service.middlewares=my-jwt-middleware@file"
+```
