401 error on login

I get a 401 error code when logging in, how do I use the JWT secret key provided in application.properties file?

How do you get the jwt token? I think this should works with the official frontend application.

I was wondering the same at first. I got it running like this:

• edit application.properties and add spring.h2.console.enabled=true to enable the h2 console
• edit WebSecurityConfig.java and add the following lines to the configure method to allow access to the h2 console:

  .antMatchers("/h2-console", "/h2-console/**")
          .permitAll()

  (before .anyRequest().authenticated()) and

  .and()
          .headers().frameOptions().sameOrigin();

  (after .anyRequest().authenticated())

• run with ./gradlew bootRun
• access the h2 console at http://localhost:8080/h2-console and create a new user
• login with email and password from the new user with a JSON POST http://localhost:8080/users/login with body {"user":{"email":"{{EMAIL}}", "password":"{{PASSWORD}}"}} (not /api/users/login)

Voila, you get the user with the JWT in the body!

@darioseidl so you are using the official frontend to access /users/login or from the backend api?

[darioseidl]

I haven't tried any frontend yet. I was just running the backend and using the Postman collection from https://github.com/gothinkster/realworld/tree/master/api
