express - Sending JWT token in the headers with Postman

Question

I'm testing an implementation of JWT Token based security based off the following article. I have successfully received a token from the test server. I can't figure out how to have the Chrome POSTMAN REST Client program send the token in the header.

My questions are as follows:

1) Am I using the right header name and/or POSTMAN interface?

2) Do I need to base 64 encode the token? I thought I could just send the token back.

Answer 1

For the request Header name just use Authorization. Place Bearer before the Token. I just tried it out and it works for me.

Authorization: Bearer TOKEN_STRING

Each part of the JWT is a base64url encoded value.
