I am using Basic Auth ( Auth::onceBasic() ) in Laravel.
How can I generate the Token shown after 'BASIC' which is sent in the header which is automatically generated by PostMan.
I believe I need to send that token back to the user so he can login next time with that token in the header?
I wonder how can I return it back to the user from the code? In the screenshot below PostMan generates it by itself. I hope I have understood basic auth correctly. I know how to do it using Passport.

I am trying to understand how an auth in a spa context with a jwt token should be implemented based on a Register / Login / Logout process. I have been searching on the web and have implemented at laravel side tymon jwt but I am confused about next step regarding register form and login form.
Do I understand well that when my user register for the first time on my website, this is at this time that the JWT token should be generated and recorded in a cookie ? If yes, is it Vue or Laravel which should record the JWT token in a cookie ? I suppose Vue ?! If yes, in which manner?
Other question: what happen if the user clear the browser cache and eliminate the cookie containing the JWT form his computer ? Does he need to register again to get a a new token ?? I am totally confused about the process.
Getting a more detailed and step by step process would help.
Thanks
The rough sketch for a JWT authentication works like this:
Registration - (optional | If the user is not registered) User fills the registration form which is posted to the register route, User account is created and the api responds with 201 ( content created)
Login - User uses his credentials to login to the app. The credentials are verified and a JWT token is issued and sent back to the user.
Vue handles the JWT Token and stores the provided token into cookies ( you can use js-cookie to handle this, usually in Vuex state )
The token is used with every request sent forth to the server, server verifies the Token and then the request proceeds.
Logging out requests the server to invalidate the token and then removes the token from the cookies.
You can use laravel passport, Laravel Sanctum or tymon/Jwt for token management.
I am developing a mobile app which has a traditional email/password authentication system.
I want to add the facebook login feature to the app. However I do not know how to proceed after the sdk returns that the user is successfully logged in through facebook.
What am I supposed to do in terms of database ? (I'm using Laravel + mysql + laravel passport for authentication)
How do I return a token to the user? How is the flow supposed to be?
Thanks
Few things to do,
The phone number becomes the primary key.
Email and other user information not being collected at first step in sign up becomes nullable().
You need to return token using JSON response.
In Laravel's route/api.php, you need to create an api route.
In the controller, write the logic and return a JSON response (either add the token in response body or response header. It's preferred to add it in the response header.)
I have a Laravel 5.8 API that I want to secure using Auth0. So far I've followed every step of this tutorial:
On the front side, Login/logout links are currently implemented in Blade, and this works fine, though the rendered content on the page is done using Vue Router, making AJAX requests to the API for the data.
The default User model in Laravel has been modified to store name, sub, and email per the tutorial, and this populates as well.
The API endpoint is secured using the jwt middleware created during the tutorial, and I can successfully submit a GET along with a hard-coded Bearer auth token in Postman and get a good response.
However, at some point I'd like to be able to pass an access token off to Vue so it can do its thing, but I'm unable to get the current authenticated user. After hitting Auth0, it redirects back to my callback route with auth gobbledlygook in the URL. The route in turn loads a controller method, and everything even looks good there:
// Get the user related to the profile
$auth0User = $this->userRepository->getUserByUserInfo($profile); // returns good user
if ($auth0User) {
// If we have a user, we are going to log them in, but if
// there is an onLogin defined we need to allow the Laravel developer
// to implement the user as they want an also let them store it.
if ($service->hasOnLogin()) { // returns false
$user = $service->callOnLogin($auth0User);
} else {
// If not, the user will be fine
$user = $auth0User;
}
\Auth::login($user, $service->rememberUser()); // "normal" Laravel login flow?
}
I'm not an expert on the framework, but the last line above seems to start the "normal" Laravel user login flow. Given that, shouldn't I see something other than null when I do auth()->user(), or even app('auth0')->getUser()?
Try using a simple tutorial if you're a beginner, I would recommend this
It uses a simple JWT package to create a jwt token which you can get when the user authenticates.
JWTAuth::attempt(['email'=>$email,'password'=>$password]);
i'm building a WEB API with laravel and output only JSON. right now i'm struggling with authentication process, my question is:
if i use JWT do i need OAuth2.0?
if i use JWT do i need to make a view / layout for user to POST the login credential then set the Bearer token? if no need to provide a login screen then how can we get the login credential from user?
if i use JWT what is the standard TTL duration for real world api?
if i use JWT how can i passing the "refreshed token" to the HTTP Header Authorization, without using JS? (because i only output the JSON response then i think there is no space for javascript "< script >" tag to be in place.)
i am using postman to test my API so i really confuse about what or how to push the project into real world. PLEASE REALLY..., PLEASE correct me if i'm wrong developing the API and if there is any source of reading material please tell me the links. Thank you very much.
No.
No, you can send json fields.
No standard TTL duration, you can set what you like.
You can issue a request with HTTP Header Authorization in PHP.
Can someone assist me here, i have succeeded in setting up my passport on laravel 5.4 everything seems to work perfected. My question is once token is generated, am i supposed to save it for subsequent usage? i am just confused on the workflow. I am using password grant. I want to know how to pass token to another route that is making another call to another endpoint once token has been generated.
You append the token generated for each and every subsequent request that needs to be authenticated.In this case attach to the Authorization header of the request. Something like this:
Bearer eJ0eXAiOi.......
