I am trying to make an authenticated request from postman to my node, apollo, express backend. I am getting an error saying that the user is unauthenticated. When I look at the context object, there is no access token and calling context.kauth.isAuthenticated() returns false.
Looking at the access token, I can see that accessToken is indeed blank, but there does exist the Bearer Token in the request header.
So I am not sure why the access token is not being included. Could this be a bug?
I am making the request from postman, I am including the token in the request like so:
In order to get this access token, I am first making a postman request to keycloak to generate this token like so (note that I am intentionally not showing my username and password for this post
I am using the above access token in my postman request above.
This is what my index.js file looks like:
require("dotenv").config();
import { ApolloServer } from "apollo-server-express";
import { ApolloServerPluginDrainHttpServer } from "apollo-server-core";
const { makeExecutableSchema } = require('@graphql-tools/schema');
import { configureKeycloak } from "./auth/config"
import {
KeycloakContext,
KeycloakTypeDefs,
KeycloakSchemaDirectives,
} from "keycloak-connect-graphql";
import { applyDirectiveTransformers } from "./auth/transformers";
import express from "express";
import http from "http";
import typeDefs from "./graphql/typeDefs";
import resolvers from "./graphql/resolvers";
import { MongoClient } from "mongodb";
import MongoHelpers from "./dataSources/MongoHelpers";
async function startApolloServer(typeDefs, resolvers) {
const client = new MongoClient(process.env.MONGO_URI);
client.connect();
let schema = makeExecutableSchema({
typeDefs: [KeycloakTypeDefs, typeDefs],
resolvers
});
schema = applyDirectiveTransformers(schema);
const app = express();
const httpServer = http.createServer(app);
const { keycloak } = configureKeycloak(app, '/graphql')
const server = new ApolloServer({
schema,
schemaDirectives: KeycloakSchemaDirectives,
resolvers,
context: ({ req }) => {
return {
kauth: new KeycloakContext({ req }, keycloak)
}
},
plugins: [ApolloServerPluginDrainHttpServer({ httpServer })],
});
await server.start();
server.applyMiddleware({ app });
await new Promise((resolve) => httpServer.listen({ port: 4000 }, resolve));
console.log(`🚀 Server ready at http://localhost:4000${server.graphqlPath}`);
}
startApolloServer(typeDefs, resolvers);
And this is my keyclaok.json file:
I am really quite stummped, my initial thought is that I am not making the reqest from postman correctly. Am grateful for any guidance
