Laravel 5.4 Passport: unsupported_grant_type

Question

Hello I try to do a web application and I have a problem. When I request the token from /oauth/token I receive this response:

{"error":"unsupported_grant_type","message":"The authorization grant type is not supported by the authorization server.","hint":"Check the `grant_type` parameter"}

And my code is:

import { Injectable } from '@angular/core';
import { Http, Response, RequestOptions, Headers } from '@angular/http';
import { Observable } from 'rxjs/Observable';
import 'rxjs/Rx';

@Injectable()
export class UserService {

    private API: string = 'api/';
    private OAuth: string = 'oauth/'

    constructor(private _HTTP: Http) { }

    private get_header(): RequestOptions {
        let headers = new Headers();
        headers.append('Access-Control-Allow-Origin', '*' ); 
        headers.append('Content-Type', 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded' );  
        return new RequestOptions({ headers: headers });
    }

    Signin(email: string, password: string): void {

        let data = {
            form_params: {
                grant_type: 'password',
                client_id: 2,
                client_secret: 'vSFxVqALQHjyotPyGfhrGj3ziudUGsts2ZWiAGms',
                username: email,
                password: password,
                scope: '*',
            }
        };

        this._HTTP.post(
            this.OAuth + 'token',
            data,
            this.get_header()
        ).toPromise()
        .then( (_response) => {
           console.log (_response); 
        });
    }
}

And the request header:

Post data:

{
  "form_params": {
    "grant_type": "password",
    "client_id": 2,
    "client_secret": "vSFxVqALQHjyotPyGfhrGj3ziudUGsts2ZWiAGms",
    "username": "fasfa",
    "password": "fasfa",
    "scope": "*"
  }
}

I don't have any other detail.

Answer 1

You need to install a password client for Passport. Assuming you've installed and configured Passport, to generate a password client, run:

php artisan passport:client --password

Make sure to use the details from the output of this command in your API requests.

Answer 2

inside form-data in postman use following

grant_type : password

client_id  :  2

client_secret : vSFxVqALQHjyotPyGfhrGj3ziudUGsts2ZWiAGms or whatever this is 

username: [email protected] 

password: mypassword

scope: 

You can get client id and secret from oauth_clients table if no data there use following command to create a client

php artisan passport:client --password

use the oauth_clients table particular row, where password client column value is 1
see how i have integrated token generation code with login. I used right format to solve grant issue in laravel 5.8

public function login(Request $request) {
    if (Auth::attempt(['email' => request('email'), 'password' => request('password')])) {
        $user = Auth::user();

         if(Auth::check()) {  // check whether user exist
           $req = Request::create('/oauth/token', 'POST',[
                     'grant_type' => 'password',
                     'client_id' => 2,
                     'client_secret' => 'WDv6wrY9Tf9HuixaiQjDWGy7yBqEG1IrmsLucAUI',
                     'username' => request('email'),
                     'password' => request('password'),
                     'scope' => '' 
                   ]);   
                   $res = app()->handle($req);
                   $responseBody = json_decode($res->getContent()); // convert to json object
           return response()->json(['success' => $responseBody], $res->getStatusCode());

         } else {
            return response()->json(['error' => 'Not logged in '], 401);
          }

    } else {
        return response()->json(['error' => 'Authentication failed '], 401);
    }
}
