 #### Example: JWT User Authentication with Issuer and Audience Check
 
-This example sets up additional token verification logic for a system user on a database using JSON Web Tokens (JWT) to authenticate. In this example, the HS512 algorithm is used to sign the token. The `AUTHENTICATE` block contains conditions to verify the token's validity: it checks that the issuer (`iss`) of the token is "surrealdb-test" and throws an error if it is not. Similarly, it checks that the audience (`aud`) of the token is "surrealdb-test" and throws an error if it is not. If both checks pass, the token is considered valid. The session duration is set to 2 hours.

If both checks pass, the token is considered valid. The session duration is set to 2 hours.
