This lesson will take the JWT sent from Express and store it in the browser local storage. It will then resend the JWT back to the Express server when a HTTP call is made for additional IBM Domino Data.

This stateless method allows the server to trust what user roles the logged in user has to restrict what Express routes the user can call. For instance you might want to restrict all Admin routes to only users which have the Admin role in the Domino ACL.
