Passport JWT - Unauthorized

Question

I'm having a problem where its always returning unauthorized for me. When i set the header Authorization to the token that received. It returns back with.

Unauthorized

.

router.get('/dashboard', passport.authenticate('jwt', {session: false}), (req, res) => {

    res.json('It worked: User ID is: ' + req.user._id);

});

.

var jwtOptions = {

    jwtFromRequest: ExtractJwt.fromAuthHeader(),
    secretOrKey: config.jwt.secretOrKey
    //issuer: config.jwt.issuer,
    //audience: config.jwt.audience,
};

passport.use(new JWTStrategy(jwtOptions, (jwt_payload, done) => {

    User.findOne({id: jwt_payload.id}, (err, user) => {

        if (err) {
            return done(err, false);
        }

        if (!user) {
            return done(null, false);
        }

        return done(null, user);

    });

}));

Answer 1

You have to change these things:

1) You have to change jwtFromRequest: ExtractJwt.fromAuthHeader(), to jwtFromRequest :ExtractJwt.fromAuthHeaderAsBearerToken(),

2) Set the header: Authorization:Bearer {token}

3) jwt_payload._id change to jwt_payload._doc._id
