Spring Security 5.3 Resource Server Multiple Keys

Question

We have the following scenario:

Multiple 'legacy' Spring Security Oauth2 Auth Servers (2.3.4) - each with a different RSA key configured for creation of the JWT tokens.
Single newer (SS 5.3.3, SB 2.3.1) Resource Server which we want to accept tokens from either auth server.

Problem is the resource server is only configured with 1 key (currently)- so it can only accept tokens from 1 auth-server.
Is there any conceivable way to support multiple keys in our resource server to decode JWTs coming from different auth-servers?

We basically want to do this but with multiple keys: https://docs.spring.io/spring-security/site/docs/current/reference/html5/#oauth2resourceserver-jwt-decoder-public-key

Spring Security 5.3 indicates this may be possible with 'multi-tenancy' https://docs.spring.io/spring-security/site/docs/current/reference/html5/#webflux-oauth2resourceserver-multitenancy

It's a basic configuration

    @Value("${security.oauth2.resourceserver.jwt.key-value}")
    RSAPublicKey key;


    @Override
    protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {

        http

                // using new Spring Security SpE"{{LOCATOR_BASE_URL}}"L
                //https://docs.spring.io/spring-security/site/docs/current/reference/htmlsingle/#webflux-oauth2resourceserver-jwt-authorization
                .authorizeRequests(authorizeRequests ->
                                authorizeRequests

                                        .antMatchers("/shipments/**").hasAuthority("SCOPE_DOMPick")
                                                                               .anyRequest().authenticated()
                )

                .csrf().disable()

                // ****** this is the new DSL way in Spring Security 5.2 instead of Spring Security Oauth @EnableResourceServer ******
                .oauth2ResourceServer(oauth2ResourceServer ->
                        oauth2ResourceServer
                                .jwt(jwt ->
                                        jwt.decoder(jwtDecoder())
                                )
                );

    }

    // static key
    @Bean
    JwtDecoder jwtDecoder() {
        return NimbusJwtDecoder.withPublicKey(this.key).build();

Yes Spring Security 5.3 allow's you to use multiple jwk-uri key's. Please read my answer here:

https://stackoverflow.com/a/61615389/12053054

If you cannot use this version of SS it is possible to manually configure spring security to use multiple jwk-uri key's. (Follow link i have provided to see how).

This part of Spring Security doc's specify how to do it with Spring Security 5.3: https://docs.spring.io/spring-security/site/docs/current/reference/html5/#oauth2resourceserver-multitenancy

JwtIssuerAuthenticationManagerResolver authenticationManagerResolver = new JwtIssuerAuthenticationManagerResolver
    ("https://idp.example.org/issuerOne", "https://idp.example.org/issuerTwo");

http
    .authorizeRequests(authorize -> authorize
        .anyRequest().authenticated()
    )
    .oauth2ResourceServer(oauth2 -> oauth2
        .authenticationManagerResolver(authenticationManagerResolver)
    );

Note that issuer url's are resolved from incoming token (JWT oauth2 token always contains issuer url where uri for jwk to verify JWT token can be found). By manual configuration (answer i have posted) you can add custom behavior for example: instead of finding which ulr should be used to verify token directly from JWT you can check header's for information that resolves which issuer URL (you have specified them in your spring app) should be used with this request to verify JWT token.
