Cannot verify JWT at all??

[deepflame]

Hi everyone,

we are evaluating Auth0 for our service and have problems to get going.
We can verify the token we get on jwt.io as you can see here:

However in the console I get the following:

I copied the values from the console into the webpage. So I am pretty confident that they are actually the same.

What can be the problem? Should I reinstall Ruby after my upgrade to macOS Sierra?

Can you please provide your Ruby version and jwt version you are using?

After my upgrade to macOS Sierra I had to re-install all my brew packages including rbenv.

[deepflame]

Sure!

Ruby 2.3.1
JWT 1.5.6

Yeah, thought that OpenSSL might be messed up now or something. What was the problem you were having?

[deepflame]

Yey, I got it to work like this:

JWT.decode(token, JWT.base64url_decode(secret), true)

Was trying it before with Base64.decode64 but this did not work.
Happy it works with the provided function :)

Ah, ok. The password was the issue.

The password isn't base64 encoded when creating a token with this gem. It needs to be plain text.

This is actually a problem with Auth0's quickstart documentation. Hope they update it soon :)
