I am trying to configure JWT Authentication for my Opensearch docker container which is on V2.7.0
**How can one reproduce the bug?**
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
1. Config file updated as follows:
```auto
jwt_auth_domain:
http_enabled: true
transport_enabled: true
order: 0
http_authenticator:
type: jwt
challenge: false
config:
signing_key: "VGhpc0lzQVRlc3ROYXRUb0JlVXNlZEFudGh3YXJl"
jwt_header: "Authorization"
jwt_url_parameter: null
subject_key: "sub"
roles_key: "roles"
jwt_clock_skew_tolerance_seconds: 20
authentication_backend:
type: noop
```
**What is the expected behavior?**

To the original issue’s author, [gvsrini](https://github.com/gvsrini):
Could you please attach your complete `config.yml` here (redacted for privacy if needed of course)? It seems like there might be some sort of miss in where fields are and where they are expected.
