Typically, plugins contain some form of documentation when downloading.

I hope that gets you started.

Did anyone get any success with this?
I am using 'createtoken' function and passing algorithm 'PS256' but when I decode the generated token it shows algorithm 'RS512'.

I have checked the source code for plugin and looks like algorithm is hardcoded to 'RS512' only. Anyone faces similar issue or help me how to change algorithm to 'PS256'

Hi, 

Please check the code written for setAlg function which is mentioned at last line in screenshot, 

Guess is - this might be overwriting default one.
