passing authorization token to subsequent request using JSON extractor in jmeter

Question

passing authorization token to subsequent request using JSON extractor in jmeter. I have 2 requests

1. Token
2. Get Policy Scenario : Generate the token and pass that token in header of 'Get Policy' request.

I have generated token and extracted using JSON extractor (name of the variable is TOKEN) and Using Debug sampler i verified that bearer token is extracted. after that i added 'HTTP Header Manager' to the next request. and added Authorization there like

Name = Authorization and Value = ${TOKEN}.

Getting 'Unauthorized access running the script while running the script for second (Get Policy) request.

Answer 1

For Bearer authorization, your header value must be Bearer YOUR_TOKEN, you missed Bearer keyword in value and HTTP Header Manager can not understand your authorization method.

Authorization: Bearer mF_9.B5f-4.1JqM

So correct configuration of the HTTP Header Manager would be:
