Missing Authorization header using JWT
I'm trying to setup JSON Web Tokens to communicate with my php backend from a mobile app. I can request a token just fine. When i need to validate it(or make a request to another endpoint), i setup the Authorization header with the following format:
Bearer <token here>
But for some reason on my backend, $_SERVER['HTTP_AUTHORIZATION'] is not set.
I'm on localhost using Mamp Pro with PHP7. This is a dump for my $_SERVER array:
Array
(
[SERVER_SOFTWARE] => Apache
[REQUEST_URI] => /wp-json/jwt-auth/v1/token/validate/
[REDIRECT_STATUS] => 200
[HTTP_HOST] => localhost.dev
[CONTENT_TYPE] => application/x-www-form-urlencoded
[CONTENT_LENGTH] => 54
[HTTP_CONNECTION] => keep-alive
[HTTP_ACCEPT] => */*
[HTTP_USER_AGENT] => CocoaRestClient/15 CFNetwork/760.2.6 Darwin/15.3.0 (x86_64)
[HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE] => en-us
[HTTP_ACCEPT_ENCODING] => gzip, deflate

[REMOTE_ADDR] => ::1
[DOCUMENT_ROOT] => /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/dev
[SERVER_ADMIN] => [email protected]
[SCRIPT_FILENAME] => /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/dev/index.php
[REMOTE_PORT] => 51804
[REDIRECT_URL] => /wp-json/jwt-auth/v1/token/validate/
[GATEWAY_INTERFACE] => CGI/1.1
[SERVER_PROTOCOL] => HTTP/1.1
[REQUEST_METHOD] => POST
[QUERY_STRING] =>
[SCRIPT_NAME] => /index.php
[PHP_SELF] => /index.php
[REQUEST_TIME_FLOAT] => 1459177711.33
[REQUEST_TIME] => 1459177711
[argv] => Array
(
)
[argc] => 0
)
When i'm trying to use HTTP Basic authentication with Basic dGVzdEB0ZXN0LmNvbToxMjM0NQ== as the authorization header, it works fine:
[PHP_AUTH_USER] => [email protected]
[PHP_AUTH_PW] => 12345
Any idea whats wrong?
Answer
Ok, i just found the answer here: https://devhacksandgoodies.wordpress.com/2014/06/27/apache-pass-authorization-header-to-phps-_serverhttp_authorization/
So i added the following line to my htaccess file and it fixed my issue:
SetEnvIf Authorization "(.*)" HTTP_AUTHORIZATION=$1
