- When configuring a JWT authenticator:
  
  If `username.expression` used 'claims.email', then 'claims.email_verified' must have been used in `username.expression` or `extra[*].valueExpression` or `claimValidationRules[*].expression`. An example claim validation rule expression that matches the validation automatically applied when `username.claim` is set to 'email' is 'claims.?email_verified.orValue(true)'.
