Memory Resolver
The MEMORY resolver is a built-in resolver for JWTs. It is mostly used by test setups but can be used to test the simplest of environments where there is one or very few accounts, and the account JWTs don’t change often.
The basic configuration for the server requires:
- The operator JWT
resolverset toMEMORYresolver_preloadset to an object where account public keys are mapped to account JWTs.
Create Required Entities
Let’s create the setup:
> nsc add operator -n memory
Generated operator key - private key stored "/Users/synadia/.nkeys/memory/memory.nk"
Success! - added operator "memory"
> nsc add account --name A
Generated account key - private key stored "/Users/synadia/.nkeys/memory/accounts/A/A.nk"
Success! - added account "A"
> nsc describe account -W

Generated user key - private key stored “/Users/synadia/.nkeys/memory/accounts/A/users/TA.nk"

Create the Server Config
With the above entries, we can reference the operator JWT and the account JWT in a server configuration. Remember that your configuration will be in $NSC_HOME/nats/<operator_name>/<operator_name>.jwt for the operator. The account JWT will be in $NSC_HOME/nats/<operator_name>/accounts/<account_name>/<account_name>.jwt
operator: /Users/synadia/.nsc/nats/memory/memory.jwt
resolver: MEMORY

Save the config at server.conf and start the server:
> nats-server -c server.conf
Start a subscriber:
> nats-sub -creds /Users/synadia/.nkeys/memory/accounts/A/users/TA.creds ">"
