I'm migrating my ServiceStack Ormite MVC application to use the JWTAuthProvider for stateless auth. I have this working by authenticating as normal, and setting the returned BearerToken and RefreshToken on a successful auth:

using (var authService = HostContext.ResolveService<AuthenticateService>(ServiceStackRequest))
{
var response = await authService.PostAsync(new Authenticate
{
    provider = CredentialsAuthProvider.Name,
    UserName = model.UserName,
    Password = model.Password,
    RememberMe = true,
});

var authResponse = response.GetDto() as AuthenticateResponse;

Response.Cookies.Append("ss-tok", authResponse.BearerToken, new CookieOptions() {...});
Response.Cookies.Append("ss-reftok", authResponse.RefreshToken, new CookieOptions() {...});
}

This appears to work for some users and not for others. The problem seems to be that user accounts with a lot of permissions end up with much larger BearerToken values, some over 4096, so these cannot be set for the ss-tok cookie.

The JWT Auth provider docs provide references to the CreatePayloadFilter and the PopulateSessionFilter, however these are only used when creating a session from a token, not the other way around. I want to filter out items (the permissions in particular) when serializing to a token.

Ideally the permissions would be excluded if there are too many (or always be excluded if that's not possible) and would be lazy-loaded when accessed. This may be possible with a custom AuthUserSession inheriting from the base AuthUserSession that Lazy-loads the Permissions, but I don't know how I could do this without the JWT Provider loading the permissions to serialise too.
