Lexik JWT returns 401 Unauthorized

Question

I am using LexikJWTBundle for a RESTful API.

Login works just fine and I get my token. But when I make a GET request I get a 401 with no content. The Authorization header seems ok since I get this in the profiler: Request Headers: authorization: Bearer {token} Request Server Parameters: HTTP_AUTHORIZATION: Bearer {token}

The 401 I get is from: https://github.com/lexik/LexikJWTAuthenticationBundle/blob/master/Security/Firewall/JWTListener.php#L80

I've tried different solutions but still it's not working.

Would you have any idea on how to resolve/debug this?

My config:

# config.yml
...

lexik_jwt_authentication:
    private_key_path: %kernel.root_dir%/var/jwt/private.pem   # ssh private key path
    public_key_path:  %kernel.root_dir%/var/jwt/public.pem    # ssh public key path
    pass_phrase:      'TEST'                                      # ssh key pass phrase
    token_ttl:        86400                                   # token ttl - defaults to 86400

And

# security.yml

security:
role_hierarchy:
    ROLE_SUPER_ADMIN:       [ROLE_ADMIN, ROLE_SONATA_ADMIN, ROLE_ALLOWED_TO_SWITCH]
# http://sonata-project.org/bundles/admin/2-3/doc/reference/security.html

I just found a solution on the same problem

Here my security.yml

firewalls:
    dev:
        pattern: ^/(_(profiler|wdt|error)|css|images|js)/
        security: false

    login:
        pattern:  ^/api/login
        stateless: true
        anonymous: true
        provider:   user_db
        form_login:
            check_path:               /api/login_check
            username_parameter:       _username
            password_parameter:       _password
            success_handler:          lexik_jwt_authentication.handler.authentication_success
            failure_handler:          lexik_jwt_authentication.handler.authentication_failure
            require_previous_session: false

    api:
        pattern:   ^/api
        stateless: true
        lexik_jwt:
            authorization_header: # check token in Authorization Header
                enabled: true
                prefix:  Bearer
            throw_exceptions:        false     # When an authentication failure occurs, return a 401 response immediately
            create_entry_point:      true      # When no authentication details are provided, create a default entry point that returns a 401 response
            authentication_provider: lexik_jwt_authentication.security.authentication.provider

My problem was the username and the password parameters. I change "username" by "_username" and "password" by "_password"
