I'd been using the Postman in-tab extension to tests calls to call JHipster resource API's and found that it worked great (JHipster setup to use OAuth2). I authenticated using the JHipster login page, then opened up a new tab with the Postman extension.
I just switched my JHipster application to use JWT and this method of using Postman no longer works, I get permission denied when calling the API. Moreover, the in-tab extension for Postman is being deprecated in favor of the stand-alone app.
Question: Is there any documentation on setting up Postman for authenticating against JHipster/JWT?
Bearer token Bearer tokens enable requests to authenticate using an access key, such as a JSON Web Token (JWT). The token is a text string, included in the request header. In the request Authorization tab, select Bearer Token from the Type dropdown list. In the Token field, enter your API key value.
The JHipster API Gateway. JHipster can generate API gateways. A gateway is a normal JHipster application, so you can use the usual JHipster options and development workflows on that project, but it also acts as the entrance to your microservices.
JHipster UAA is a user accounting and authorizing service for securing JHipster microservices using the OAuth2 authorization protocol.
/api/authenticate
with the following body:
{"password":"admin","username":"admin"}
. You will receive the following response: {"id_token":"aabbccddeeff"}
Authorization: Bearer aabbccddeeff
/api/authenticate
endpoint It is possible to use Postman with a JWT JHipster app.
Authorization
header. The JWT token is the value to the right of "Bearer ". You can also find this token in the browser's localStorage under the key jhi-authenticationToken
.Edit the headers in Postman and add the Authorization
header. The value should look like the following:
Bearer eyJhbGciOiJIUzUxMiJ9.eyJzdWIiOiJydRkZWxsIiwiYXV0aCI6IlJPTEVfQURNSU4sUk9MRV9U0VSIiwiZXhwIjoxNDgzOTg1MDkzfQ.1A13sBvr3KDWxJQpKDKOS33KAVjWIb3mS_qfxLBOCq_LbMwNHnysAai0SNXXgudMOulAnXYN9_Mzlcv1_zctA
