Try this one to push basic authentication at url: curl -i http://username:password@dev.myapp.com/api/users -H “Authorization: Bearer mytoken123” ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ If above one doesn’t work, then you have nothing to do with it. So try the following alternates. You can pass the token under another name. Because you are handling the authorization from your Application. So you can … Read more
Update for .Net Core 3.1: David Fowler (architect for the ASP .NET Core team) has put together an incredibly simple set of task applications, including a simple application demonstrating JWT. I’ll be incorporating his updates and simplistic style to this post soon. Updated for .Net Core 2: Previous versions of this answer used RSA; it’s … Read more
Basically, refresh tokens are used to get new access token. To clearly differentiate these two tokens and avoid getting mixed up, here are their functions given in The OAuth 2.0 Authorization Framework: Access tokens are issued to third-party clients by an authorization server with the approval of the resource owner. The client uses the access … Read more
const config = { headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${token}` } }; const bodyParameters = { key: “value” }; Axios.post( ‘http://localhost:8000/api/v1/get_token_payloads’, bodyParameters, config ).then(console.log).catch(console.log); The first parameter is the URL. The second is the JSON body that will be sent along your request. The third parameter are the headers (among other things). Which is JSON as … Read more

While there is a way to encrypt JWTs (see: JWEs), this is not very common in practice for many reasons. Next up, any form of … Read more
Half the point of passwords is that (ideally) you memorize them and the system hashes them, so therefore they’re never stored anywhere in plain text. Yet GitHub’s personal access token system seems to basically force you to store the token in plain text? First, a PAT (Personal Access Token) is not a simple password, but … Read more
The refresh_token is only provided on the first authorization from the user. Subsequent authorizations, such as the kind you make while testing an OAuth2 integration, will not return the refresh_token again. 🙂 Go to the page showing Apps with access to your account: https://myaccount.google.com/u/0/permissions. Under the Third-party apps menu, choose your app. Click Remove access … Read more
