frank_jwt VS postman-app-support

NOTE: Never store sensitive information about a client in the payload as the JWT is just encoded and not encrypted. You can paste the JWT I gave as an example above in this cool site which basically allows you to see in decoded. JSON Web Tokens - jwt.io

Although they did not make it into production, I experimented with the RabbitMQ message broker, Python (Django, Flask), Kubernetes + minikube, JWT, and NGINX. This was a hobby project, but I intended to learn about microservices along the way.

JSON Web Token (JWT) creation to extend user authentication to server-side functions

The (probably) most famous web resource about JWT - https://jwt.io - provides such a definition of JSON Web Tokens:

If you want to play with JWT and put these concepts into practice, you can use jwt.ioDebugger to decode, verify, and generate JWTs.

In this context, JSON Web Tokens (JWTs) play a crucial role.

Json Web Token (JWT): Even though it is more like an industry standard, we will use JWTs for stateless authentication in this article. If you want to learn more, you can refer to the official documentation.

Se pegar o token jwt podemos ver o que tem dentro, usando o site jwt.io.

JWT token is not encrypted, it's just base64UrlEncoded. So, don't put any sensitive information in payload. Meaning, if for some reason an access token is stolen, an attacker will be able to decode it and see information in payload.Check it here.

Do you have any details on the equivalent Postman change? How long ago did Postman force users to create an account? I found this github issue, but I'm not sure if it's what everyone keeps referencing.

Possibly user agent add it to postman https://github.com/postmanlabs/postman-app-support/issues/3827

As you can see, this solution worked as expected, but it still has a big concern. The idea of using user email and checking their permission will not prevent malicious people from using an admin email, which can be easy to get with social engineering, and use programs like Insominia or Postman to get the same response as an unprotected endpoint.

You have installed Postman.

Learned about curl https://curl.se/ and played around with postman https://www.postman.com/ some more.

Postman installed

The JWT authorizer is ready to use! We can use Postman or curl to test the endpoint and the authorizer.
