The best solution I found for that problem would be to redirect to the expected page with a cookie which holds the JWT. Using res.json would only send a json response and would not redirect. That’s why the other suggested answer here would not solve the problem I encountered. So my solution would be: app.get(‘/auth/facebook/callback’, … Read more
Coming back to this many months later. In case it’s helpful to anyone, express-jwt is built on top of the jsonwebtoken package and does a bunch of additional cool things. You still use jsonwebtoken to sign and verify your JWTs, but express-jwt helps you protect routes, checks JWTs against a secret, and creates a req.user … Read more
You should add algorithms property to the jwt constructor. Example; expressJwt({ secret: process.env.JWT_SECRET, algorithms: [‘RS256’] });
You can set the headers in a $.ajax request: $.ajax({ url: “http://localhost:8080/login”, type: ‘GET’, // Fetch the stored token from localStorage and set in the header headers: {“Authorization”: localStorage.getItem(‘token’)} });
The main difference is the session storage size and lookup work required from the server: On the server side, JWT stores a single key in memory (or in config file) – called secret key. That key has two purposes, it enables creating new encrypted tokens and it also functions like a master key that “opens … Read more
That particular error occurs whenever you try to send more than one response to the same request and is usually caused by improper asynchronous code. The code you show in your question does not appear like it would cause that error, but I do see code in a different route here that would cause that … Read more
JWTs can be either signed, encrypted or both. If a token is signed, but not encrypted, everyone can read its contents, but when you don’t know the private key, you can’t change it. Otherwise, the receiver will notice that the signature won’t match anymore. Answer to your comment: I’m not sure if I understand your … Read more
