rest api post method not working for basic auth in meanjs 0.5.0

Question

I tried to check post method of meanjs (0.5.0) in postman with basic auth but it doesn't seem to be working. I am giving the correct credentials.

It show below error:

{ "message": "User is not authorized" }

Any idea what can be done?

Answer 1

I found in ./node_modules/passport-local/lib/strategy.js that _usernameField name is usernameOrEmail instead of username.

So I passed below json object with content header as "application/json" from postman and it got connected successfully:

{
   "usernameOrEmail":"test",
   "password":"test"
}
