Passport-jwt Unauthorized

Question

I\'m New to node js. I\'m using passport jwt for authentication. When i tried to authenticate, its always showing \"unauthorized\".

my passport.js file

Answer 1

I found out the issue, In new passport-jwt updates, we have to use

opts.jwtFromRequest = ExtractJwt.fromAuthHeaderWithScheme('jwt');

Answer 2

if you are using opts.jwtFromRequest = ExtractJwt.fromAuthHeaderAsBearerToken(); as your jwtFromRequest then your Authorization header is like

bearer xxxxx.yyyyy.zzzzz

you can check the BEARER_AUTH_SCHEME specified in the extract_jwt.js located in the passport-jwt/lib folder

if you are using opts.jwtFromRequest = ExtractJwt.fromAuthHeaderWithScheme('jwt') as your jwtFromRequest then your Authorization header is like

JWT xxxxx.yyyyy.zzzzz

you can check the LEGACY_AUTH_SCHEME specified in the extract_jwt.js located in the passport-jwt/lib folder
