How to send jwt token to protected route in node.js - node.js

I have created a login form that should redirect the user to a dashboard page in case he enters the right password and username. If the user tries to navigate to the dashboard url without being logged in the page should not display as it is a protected route. I am trying to send a jwt token when the user logs in, but that doesn't work I just get the Forbidden message when I log in so it seems that the token is not sent correctly, how can I send the jwt token and access the protected route once the user logs in successfully?
Here is my server.js:
const express = require('express');
const jwt = require('jsonwebtoken');
const mongoose = require('mongoose');
const bodyParser = require('body-parser');
let Post = require('./models/post.model.js');
const app = express();
const cors = require('cors');
require('dotenv').config();
app.use(cors());
app.use("/assets", express.static(__dirname + "/assets"));
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: true }));
const BASE_URL = process.env.BASE_URL;
const PORT = process.env.PORT || 1337;
mongoose.connect(BASE_URL, { useNewUrlParser: true, useUnifiedTopology: true })
const connection = mongoose.connection;
connection.once('open', function () {
console.log('Connection to MongoDB established succesfully!');
});
app.set('view-engine', 'ejs');
app.get('/', (req, res) => {
res.render('index.ejs');
});
app.post('/', (req, res) => {
let username = req.body.username;
let password = req.body.password;
const user = {
username: username,
password: password
}
jwt.sign({ user }, process.env.SECRET_KEY, (err, token) => {
res.json({
token
})
});
if (username !== process.env.USER_NAME && password !== process.env.USER_PASSWORD) {
res.json('Invalid credentials');
} else {
res.setHeader('Authorization', 'Bearer '+ token);
res.redirect('/dashboard')
}
});
app.get('/dashboard', verifyToken, (req, res) => {
jwt.verify(req.token, process.env.SECRET_KEY, (err, authData) => {
if (err) {
res.sendStatus(403);
} else {
res.sendStatus(200);
}
});
res.render('dashboard.ejs');
});
app.get('/dashboard/createPost', verifyToken, (req, res) => {
res.render('post.ejs');
});
app.post('/dashboard/createPost', async (req, res) => {
let collection = connection.collection(process.env.POSTS_WITH_TAGS);
res.setHeader('Content-Type', 'application/json');
let post = new Post(req.body);
collection.insertOne(post)
.then(post => {
res.redirect('/dashboard')
})
.catch(err => {
res.status(400).send(err);
});
});
// TOKEN FORMAT
// Authorization: Bearer <access_token>
//Verifing the Token
function verifyToken(req, res, next) {
// Get auth header value
const bearerHeader = req.headers['authorization'];
// Check if bearer is undefined
if (typeof bearerHeader !== 'undefined') {
// Spliting the bearer
const bearer = bearerHeader.split(' ');
// Get token from array
const bearerToken = bearer[1];
// Set the token
req.token = bearerToken;
// Next middleware
next();
} else {
// Forbid the route
res.sendStatus(403);
}
}
app.listen(PORT);

see this example, i use middleware(checkAuthLogin), this code contains all thing for your question:

Your issue is that your token variable is only accessible inside of the callback to the jwt.sign call, so when you try to do this here res.setHeader('Authorization', 'Bearer '+ token);, it won't know what variable you're referring to, hence the undefined error. By the way, if you're going to use jwt.sign asynchronously, then the code that uses it needs to also be inside of the callback, otherwise synchronous code outside of the callback will likely execute first (and thus not be able to access any results of the asynchronous code) as the asynchronous callback executes in the background. The solution here is to either switch your usage to a synchronous usage or place your response code inside of the callback. Also, calling res.json will end the response so I'm not sure what exactly you're trying to accomplish with the multiple response calls
Synchronous version:
app.post('/', (req, res) => {
let username = req.body.username;
let password = req.body.password;
const user = {
username: username,
password: password
};
let token = undefined;
try {
token = jwt.sign({ user }, process.env.SECRET_KEY);
} catch (e) {
// handle error
}
if (username !== process.env.USER_NAME && password !== process.env.USER_PASSWORD) {
res.json('Invalid credentials');
} else {
res.setHeader('Authorization', 'Bearer '+ token);
res.redirect('/dashboard');
}
});
Asynchronous version:
app.post('/', (req, res) => {
let username = req.body.username;
let password = req.body.password;
const user = {
username: username,
password: password
}
jwt.sign({ user }, process.env.SECRET_KEY, (err, token) => {
if (username !== process.env.USER_NAME && password !== process.env.USER_PASSWORD) {
res.json('Invalid credentials');
} else {
res.setHeader('Authorization', 'Bearer '+ token);
res.redirect('/dashboard')
}
});
});
In these examples, I took out res.json({ token }) because you can't use res.json and then perform a redirect, but modify those parts however best fits your code. On another note, you probably don't want to include the password in your token because while JWTs (when using the default/standard algorithms which do not include encryption) are cryptographically guaranteed to be unmodifiable, they are still readable

I have one solution to send jwt token, but you will need to install one more package. If you think it worth maybe you can follow.
I use express only for backend api. But you can use the same logic applied here to your application.
The lib you will need to install is the express-jwt
It handles routes to block access to endpoint that need authentication.
server.js
require('dotenv').config()
const express = require('express');
const logger = require('morgan');
const cors = require('cors');
const jwt = require('jsonwebtoken');
const expressJwt = require('express-jwt');
const app = express();
cors({ credentials: true, origin: true });
app.use(cors());
app.use(express.json());
app.use(express.urlencoded({ extended: true }));
app.use('/secure', expressJwt({ secret: process.env.SECRET }));
app.use(require('./server/index'));
app.get('/secure/dashboard') => {
//now you can only access this route with authorization header
//prependending the '/secure/ to new routes should make them return 401 when accessed without authorization token
//accessing this route without returns 401.
//there is no need to validate because express-jwt is handling.
console.log(res.user)//should print current user and pass signed with token
res.render('dashboard.ejs');
});
app.post('/', (req, res) => {
let username = req.body.username;
let password = req.body.password;
//jwt.sign({ user }, process.env.SECRET_KEY, (err, token) => {
// res.json({
// token
// })
//});
//shouldn't sign json here, because there is no guarantee this is a valid
//username and password it can be an impostor
if (username !== process.env.USER_NAME && password !== process.env.USER_PASSWORD) {
res.json('Invalid credentials');
} else {
const user = {
username: username,
password: password
};
const tk = {};
tk.token = 'Bearer ' + jwt.sign(user, process.env.SECRET_KEY, { expiresIn: 1800 });//expires in 1800 seconds
res.status(200).json(tk);
}
});
Now in your frontend put the authorization token sent by this route in cookies or store in client-side.
Do the next request with the header authorization for the secure dashboard route.

I think the problem in the sign in controller function
you must check first if the user have the correct password before attempting to send him a token
you should save the result of jwt sign function in a variable to send back to the user in case he has the right credintials.
It make no sense to send the password again to the user , only the username is needed
you can try this :
app.post('/', (req, res) => {
const {username , password} = req.body;
if (username !== process.env.USER_NAME && password !== process.env.USER_PASSWORD) {
return res.json('Invalid credentials');
}
const token = jwt.sign({username:username }, SECRET)
res.setHeader('Authorization', token);
res.redirect('/dashboard')
});

route saying forbidden although i issued user jwt

Using thunderclient (similar to postman) i cant access this employee api which requires a jwt, even though i confirm i am already authorized. Here is my code:
authController:
const usersDB = {
users: require("../model/users.json"),
setUsers: function (data) {
this.users = data;
},
};
const bcrypt = require("bcrypt");
const jwt = require("jsonwebtoken");
require("dotenv").config();
const fsPromises = require("fs").promises;
const path = require("path");
const handleLogin = async (req, res) => {
const { user, pwd } = req.body;
if (!user || !pwd)
return res
.status(400)
.json({ message: "Username and password are required." });
const foundUser = usersDB.users.find((person) => person.username === user);
console.log(foundUser);
if (!foundUser) return res.sendStatus(401);
const match = await bcrypt.compare(pwd, foundUser.password);
if (match) {
const accessToken = jwt.sign(
{ username: foundUser.username },
process.env.ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET,
{ expiresIn: "60s" }
);
const refreshToken = jwt.sign(
{ username: foundUser.username },
// we need our secret from env file as well to make our jwt
process.env.REFRESH_TOKEN_SECRET,
{ expiresIn: "1d" }
);
const otherUsers = usersDB.users.filter(
(person) => person.username !== foundUser.username
);
const currentUser = { ...foundUser, refreshToken };
usersDB.setUsers([...otherUsers, currentUser]);
await fsPromises.writeFile(
path.join(__dirname, "..", "model", "users.json"),
JSON.stringify(usersDB.users)
);
res.cookie("jwt", refreshToken, {
httpOnly: true,
ameSite: "None",
secure: true,
maxAge: 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000,
});
res.json({ accessToken });
} else {
res.sendStatus(401);
}
};
module.exports = { handleLogin };
sever.js:
const express = require("express");
const app = express();
const path = require("path");
const cors = require("cors");
const corsOptions = require("./config/corsOptions");
const { logger } = require("./middleware/logEvents");
const errorHandler = require("./middleware/errorHandler");
const cookieParser = require("cookie-parser");
const verifyJWT = require("./middleware/verifyJWT");
const PORT = process.env.PORT || 3500;
app.use(logger);
app.use(cors(corsOptions));
app.use(express.urlencoded({ extended: false }));
app.use(express.json());
app.use(cookieParser());
app.use(express.static(path.join(__dirname, "./public")));

if (req.accepts("html")) {
res.sendFile(path.join(__dirname, "views", "404.html"));
} else if (req.accepts("json")) {
res.json({ error: "404 Not Found" });
} else {
res.type("txt").send("404 not found");
}
});
app.use(errorHandler);
app.listen(PORT, () => console.log(`Server running on port ${PORT}`));
verifyJWT middleware:
const jwt = require("jsonwebtoken");
require("dotenv").config();
const verifyJWT = (req, res, next) => {
const authHeader = req.headers["authorization"];
if (!authHeader) return res.sendStatus(401);
console.log(authHeader);
// bearer token, hence bearer space 1, 1 is the token
const token = authHeader.split("")[1];
// decoded info from the jwt
jwt.verify(token, process.env.ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET, (err, decoded) => {
// 403 is forbidden
if (err) return res.sendStatus(403);
req.user = decoded.username;
next();
});
};
module.exports = verifyJWT;
so if i for example
http://localhost:3500/auth (post) and login with a user and pwd, my res does log an access token, and if i try to use that inside
http://localhost:3500/employees (get) i get forbidden. not sure what i am missing here
i tried console.logging to see if i had foundUser, which i did, so not sure why i cant get into this route
You are splitting by empty string, it would divide every character, try spliting by space:
const token = authHeader.split(" ")[1];

Why is req.cookie.token_name not working?

I was building authentication for a website
and the req.cookie was returning undefined. Can I know what's wrong with that?
this is my server code
and I imported the auth file here
app.get("/", auth, (req, res) => {
res.render("index")
})
this is my auth.js file
const jwt = require("jsonwebtoken")
const Register = require("../models/registration")
const cookieParser = require("cookie-parser")
const express = require("express")
const app = express()
app.use(cookieParser())
const auth = async (req, res, next) => {
try {
const token = req.cookie.token_name
console.log(token)
const verifyUser = jwt.verify(token, process.env.SECRET_KEY)
next()
} catch (error) {
console.log(error)
res.status(401).send(error)
}
}
module.exports = auth
if required this is my login code as well but yeah i verified its storing cookies on the browser
app.post("/login", async (req, res) => {
try {
const password = req.body.password
const email = req.body.email
const user = await Register.findOne({ email: email })
const isMatch = await bcrypt.compare(password, user.password)
const token = await user.generateAuthenticationToken()
res.cookie('jwt', token, {
maxAge: 600*1000,
httpOnly: true,
})
if (isMatch) {
res.redirect("/")
} else {
res.send("Invalid Credentials")
}
} catch (error) {
res.status(404).send(error)
}
})

Authenication with JWT returning empty array with a GET request [NodeJS]

Trying to practice JWT with NodeJS but when I try to run a GET request using the headers of the Authorization: Bearer , it returns an array instead of the object with the token, I tried with the Postman app but to no avail
This is the code, the get and post request code:
const express = require('express');
require('dotenv').config();
const jwt = require('jsonwebtoken');
const crypto = require('crypto');
const app = express();
const user = [
{
username: 'John',
email: 'john#gmail.com'
},
{
username: "Joshua",
email: 'joshua#gmail.com'
}
]
app.use(express.json())
app.get('/api', authenicateToken, (req, res,) => {
res.json(user.filter(post => post.username === req.body.name))
})
app.post('/login', (req, res) => {
const username = req.body.username
const use = { name: username }
const accessToken = jwt.sign(use, process.env.ACCESS_KEY)
res.json({ accessToken: accessToken })
})
function authenicateToken (req, res, next) {
const authHeader = req.headers['authorization']
const token = authHeader && authHeader.split(' ')[1]
if(token === null) return res.sendStatus(403)
jwt.verify(token, process.env.ACCESS_KEY, (err, user) => {
if(err) return res.sendStatus(403)
req.user = user
next()
})
}
app.listen(4000, () => {
console.log('Can you hear me?');
})
filter returns an array, use find method it returns single item.
res.json(user.find(post => post.username === req.body.name))

How to test express-session type sessions in nodejs using postman?

I have a nodejs backend with sessions made using express-session npm module. I want to test the sessions using postman.
What I want is a user should be allowed to access the users list via the /getUsers route only if he is currently in a session. But what is happening is when I test the backend using postman even after logging in the user is unable to access the users using the /getUsers route. Is this something to do with postman?

You can set session in tab Header with your key.
You can read https://www.toolsqa.com/postman/sessions-in-postman/ for more detail.
You should read at How to use Sessions in Postman? part.

Checking if a user exists with mongodb and passport.js?

I am using mongoose and passport-local for my strategy. With Redux I dispatch an action to register a user and it works fine. After I register I want to use those same credentials to log the user in.
I have login working with JWT but it's not hitting any backend, only a users object. I'm wondering how I can use passport to authenticate with my mongo backend, give a success response, and then I can keep using my current setup to issue the JWT. I know I can probably rework this to be cleaner and use passport only but I have this working so far and I'd like to only connect it to a real database now that registerUser successfully uses.

I guess you need something like:
export const passportJWT = function (passport) {
passport.use(new JwtStrategy({
jwtFromRequest: ExtractJwt.fromAuthHeader(),
secretOrKey: config.JwtSecret,
}, (jwtPayload, done) => {
Account.findOne({ username: jwtPayload.username}, (err, account) => {
if (err) return done(err, false);
if (user) {
return done(null, account);
}
return done(null, false);
});
}));
};
and
export const JWTAuthentication = (req, res, next) => {
passport.authenticate('jwt', { session: false })(req, res, next);
};
then use this middleware for the routes that needs JWT authentication.
like:
yourRouter.get('/login', JWTAuthentication, (req, res) => {
//if jwt authentication passed
//you can access user object as req.user
});
