Authorization header from Postman not visible in Laravel

I am trying to test my Laravel php application with middleware using Postman. The application is using Tymon JWT Auth and according to the docs I should set the Authorization header:

Authorization: Bearer {yourtokenhere}

So, I've added the Authorization header to Postman like so:

enter image description here

But the response I get from my app is that token is not provided.

It's strange because:

  • If I attach the same token to url in Postman, the token is visible to the app (status 200 OK and no error saying token_not_provided).
  • If I test the app in PHPUnit instead of Postman and provide the token either in header or in url, it is also OK.
  • Debugging the raw Postman request in Fiddler shows that it actually has the Authorization header, as visible below:

enter image description here

I also tried deleting the other two headers from Postman but it didn't improve anything. So it seems that all is set up fine, but it's not working, why?

Is your server on Apache? if yes,the following checklist will be helpful

  • You should configure your .htaccess properly inside public folder. Refer this

  • You should edit apache2.conf file

    sudo vi +164 /etc/apache2/apache2.conf And change to 

    <Directory /var/www/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted

    • Then sudo a2enmod rewrite
    • Restart apache sudo service apache2 restart

This will work!
