# nats-account-server
The [NATS Account Server](https://github.com/nats-io/nats-account-server) is an HTTP server that hosts and vends [JWTs](../../nats-server/configuration/securing_nats/jwt/) for nats-server 2.0 account authentication. The server supports an number of stores which enable it to serve account [JWTs](../../nats-server/configuration/securing_nats/jwt/) from:
* a [directory](nas_conf.md#directory-configuration)
* an [NSC](../nsc/nsc.md) [directory](nas_conf.md#nsc-configuration)

> The nats server can be configured with a [memory resolver](../../nats-server/configuration/securing_nats/jwt/resolver.md#memory) as well. This avoids usage of the account server.
> The nats server can be configured with a [nats based resolver](../../nats-server/configuration/securing_nats/jwt/resolver.md#nats-based-resolver) for the same purpose as well.

> Usage of [full nats based resolver](../../nats-server/configuration/securing_nats/jwt/resolver.md#nats-based-resolver) over [NATS Account Server](https://github.com/nats-io/nats-account-server) is recommended.

The server can operate in a _READ ONLY_ mode where it serves content from a directory, or in [notification mode](notifications.md), where it can notify a NATS server that a JWT in the store has been modified, updating the NATS server with the updated JWT.
