getting unauthorized in passport.js

[Vinay-Shankar]

hi.... i am trying to learn MEAN stack web app development getting unauthorized in passport.js here code is: module.exports= function(passport){ let opts = {}; opts.jwtFromRequest = ExtractJwt.fromAuthHeaderAsBearerToken(); opts.secretOrKey = config.secret; passport.use(new JwtStrategy(opts, function(jwt_payload, done) { console.log('payload received', jwt_payload); User.getUserById(jwt_payload.sub, (err, user) => { if(err){ return done(err, false); } if(user){ return done(null, user); } else { return done(null, false); } }); })); }

in above code,....i have changed code as per the version ,even i can't able see payload and its not accessing from below this code.

passport.use(new JwtStrategy(opts, function(jwt_payload, done) { console.log('payload received', jwt_payload); User.getUserById(jwt_payload.sub, (err, user) => { if(err){ return done(err, false); } if(user){ return done(null, user); } else { return done(null, false); } }); }));

if anyone gets answer pls.....help me

@Vinay-Shankar your code is wrong. In the Config folder you need to compare your code if you are doing the video to the Updated Passport.js file.

const ExtractJwt = require('passport-jwt').ExtractJwt;
const User = require('../models/user');
const config = require('../config/database');

module.exports = function(passport) {
  let opts = {};
  opts.jwtFromRequest = ExtractJwt.fromAuthHeaderWithScheme('jwt');
  opts.secretOrKey = config.secret;
  passport.use(new JwtStrategy(opts, (jwt_payload, done) => {
    User.getUserById(jwt_payload.data._id, (err, user) => {
      if(err) {
        return done(err, false);
      }

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

@tomcatbuzz ...hi sir i have compared the code...but no changes as per thought....if i give console.log('check') before passport.use() function.....it works upto console.log('check'); and it nnot mores to the next step that is passport.use() function. even the jwt-payload details are not shown code : `const JwtStrategy = require('passport-jwt').Strategy; const ExtractJwt = require('passport-jwt').ExtractJwt; const User = require('../models/user'); const config = require('../config/database');

module.exports= function(passport){ let opts = {}; opts.jwtFromRequest = ExtractJwt.fromAuthHeaderAsBearerToken(); opts.secretOrKey = config.secret; console.log('check'); passport.use(new JwtStrategy(opts, function( jwt_payload, done) { console.log('payload received', jwt_payload); User.getUserById(jwt_payload._data._id, (err, user) => { if(err){ return done(err, false); } if(user){ return done(null, user); } else { return done(null, false); } }); })); }`

I would suggest you clone the Repo and follow the directions for Both the Front End Angular and the Backend Nodejs-express. Then try to re-run your application. You are not showing any Error information. All you are doing is saying you don't get any console.log return. I have no clue what you are doing. Are you following Brad's Video series? If so what video are you are on? Give more info and I will try to help.

@tomcatbuzz.... it's getting unauthorized in authenicate... if i give console.log(jwt_payload); inside passport.use(new JwtStrategy(opts, function( jwt_payload, done) ...it should display,what payload is giving. yes...i am following brad traversy the video is mean authenicate app tutorial in youtube

@Vinay-Shankar is it the video series from Feb 13, 2017. If so what video are you on so I can review the video and try to see where you are getting stuck. Sometimes it is good to go back over a previous video to make sure you didn't miss any steps in the process.

@tomcatbuzz .... yes.....video series published in 13 feb 2017... i am stuck in API authenication that's in video 4.... getting unauthorized in users/profile.

Are you Copying the JWT key and using it in POSTMAN like shown at minute 19 of the video? You will get unauthorized until you paste the key in and Select Authorize in POSTMAN On Sunday, March 25, 2018, 12:52:40 PM EDT, Vinay Shankar notifications@github.com wrote:
