### Parameters

- `zone_id: str`

  Identifier.

- `normalize: Optional[bool]`

  Ensures that the configuration is written or retrieved in normalized fashion

### Returns

- `class Configuration: …`

  - `auth_id_characteristics: List[AuthIDCharacteristic]`

    - `class AuthIDCharacteristicAPIShieldAuthIDCharacteristic: …`

      Auth ID Characteristic

      - `name: str`

        The name of the characteristic field, i.e., the header or cookie name.

      - `type: Literal["header", "cookie"]`

        The type of characteristic.

        - `"cookie"`

    - `class AuthIDCharacteristicAPIShieldAuthIDCharacteristicJWTClaim: …`

      Auth ID Characteristic extracted from JWT Token Claims

      - `name: str`

        Claim location expressed as `$(token_config_id):$(json_path)`, where `token_config_id`
        is the ID of the token configuration used in validating the JWT, and `json_path` is a RFC 9535
        JSONPath (https://goessner.net/articles/JsonPath/, https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc9535.html).
        The JSONPath expression may be in dot or bracket notation, may only specify literal keys
