authentication issue with laravel private channel and laravel-echo-server - laravel-5

Question

I'm using laravel-echo-server along with Redis and vuejs to broadcast events through websockets in Laravel 5.5. with public channels it is working fine and events get broadcasted to client-side correctly. But when I change it to private channel I face problem of authentication even if the callback function inside channel.php file just return true and does not contain any logic for authentication.
I'm using Sentinel authentication package and I don't know if this is the problem. But as I said, when just returning 'true' the problem of authentication still there.
When I check laravel-echo-server I see that there is a error message that says "could not be authenticated, got http code 419".
I read that there are some guys face same issue and what they got is maybe a csrf-token issue or private channel works only with the integrated auth package...etc.
I have included the csrf-token header inside window.Echo config but no result.
window.Echo = new Echo({
broadcaster: 'socket.io',
host: window.location.hostname + ':6001',
auth: {
headers: {
'X-CSRF-TOKEN': $('meta[name=csrf-token]).attr(content)
}
}
});
routes/channel.php
<?php
Broadcast::channel('adminNotify', function() {
return true;
});
What I did actually in order to make the admin which has the id of 1 able to receive the event is this:
<?php
use Cartalyst\Sentinel\Laravel\Facades\Sentinel;
Broadcast::channel('adminNotify', function () {
return (int) Sentinel::check()->id === 1;
});
App\Events\NotifyAdminEvent
<?php
namespace App\Events;
use Illuminate\Broadcasting\Channel;
use Illuminate\Queue\SerializesModels;
use Illuminate\Broadcasting\PrivateChannel;
use Illuminate\Broadcasting\PresenceChannel;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Events\Dispatchable;
use Illuminate\Broadcasting\InteractsWithSockets;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Broadcasting\ShouldBroadcast;
use App\Ad;
use Sentinel;
class NotifyAdminEvent implements ShouldBroadcast
{
use Dispatchable, InteractsWithSockets, SerializesModels;
public $ad;
public function __construct(Ad $ad)
{
$this->ad = $ad;
}
/**
* Get the channels the event should broadcast on.
*
* #return \Illuminate\Broadcasting\Channel|array
*/
public function broadcastOn()
{
return new PrivateChannel('adminNotify');
}
}
app.js
require('./bootstrap');
window.Vue = require('vue');
import Echo from 'laravel-echo';
window.Echo = new Echo({
broadcaster: 'socket.io',
host: window.location.hostname + ':6001'
});

"sslPassphrase": "",

}
Laravel log does not log anything so I find it difficult to know what's going on and solve the problem.

Answer 1

I have figured out what happened. The problem was in laravel-echo-server.json file and exactly in the first line "authHost" where instead of putting the ip I had to put the domaine name.
{
"authHost": "http://webdev-app.test",
"authEndpoint": "/broadcasting/auth",
"clients": [
{
"appId": "64fe4c095b0ffb30",
"key": "9e2bf37f9b3c8c88c3c5f5e207754f1d"
}
],
"database": "redis",
"databaseConfig": {
"redis": {},
"sqlite": {
"databasePath": "/database/laravel-echo-server.sqlite"
}
},
"devMode": true,
"host": null,
"port": "6001",
"protocol": "http",
"socketio": {},
"sslCertPath": "",
"sslKeyPath": "",
"sslCertChainPath": "",
"sslPassphrase": "",
"apiOriginAllow": {
"allowCors": false,
"allowOrigin": "",
"allowMethods": "",
"allowHeaders": ""
}
}
