Laravel - Passport/SPA 401 Unauthorized

Question

I've registered the Vue components as mentioned in the Laravel Passport documentation, and they also do show up in my app:

<passport-clients></passport-clients>
<passport-authorized-clients></passport-authorized-clients>
<passport-personal-access-tokens></passport-personal-access-tokens>

However, they don't show any tokens/clients, and I am not able to create any either, due to my application says I am "unauthorized":

GET http://spa.test/oauth/personal-access-tokens 401 
GET http://spa.test/oauth/clients 401 (Unauthorized)
GET http://spa.test/oauth/tokens 401 (Unauthorized)
GET http://spa.test/oauth/scopes 401 (Unauthorized)

This is my AuthServiceProvider.php

public function boot() {
     $this->registerPolicies();
     Passport::routes();
}

I've also included the trait to my app/User.php:

use HasApiTokens, Notifiable;

Remember, I am using Laravel as a backend and Vue.js as a frontend, which gives me an SPA.

This is my routes/api.php:

Route::middleware('auth:api')->group(function () {
    Route::get('/user', function (Request $request) {
        return $request->user();
    });
});

This is my routes.js:

const routes = [
    {
        path: '/api/*',
    },

    /**
     * Handle Authentication
     */
    {
        path: '/',
        alias: '/login',
        name: 'login',
        component: Login,
        beforeEnter: ifNotAuthenticated,
    }
    /**
     * Handle logged in pages
     */
    {
        path: '/dashboard',
        name: 'layout',
        component: MasterLayout,
        beforeEnter: ifAuthenticated,
        children: [{
            path: '/dashboard',
            name: 'dashboard',
            component: Dashboard
        }, {
            path: '/home',
            name: 'home',
            component: Home
        }]
    },
];

Update 1:

I see that the problem is that I am authenticated using Passport (auth:api) All of the passport routes use web Middleware to make sure you are authenticated, which is a session based authentication:

Any idea on how I can still use Vue as a frontend, Laravel as a backend and still use Laravel Passport to handle tokens for 3rd party applications?

Have you tried to send your laravel session cookie with the requests? – Babism

Yes, updated my OP with this info. – Albite

What version of Laravel and Passport are you using? – Consecration

@Matpb latest version of both (5.6, 7.0). It's a fresh install. – Albite

Answer 1

It was a little while ago that we went through the same issue, but I can see we followed the laravel documentation to add a web middleware in kernel.php:

'web' => [
    // Other middleware...
    // ...
    // This Adds a cookie containing a JWT token for Laravel Passport
    \Laravel\Passport\Http\Middleware\CreateFreshApiToken::class,
],

Potentially relevant: to simplify our requests to the back-end we had axios setup to prefix requests with api/, which meant we also had to tell Passport to expect this. In AuthServiceProvider.php:

Passport::routes(null, ['prefix' => 'api/oauth']);

Working flawlessly with last laravel version + passport tutorial on doc! – Occasion

With namespace use Laravel\Passport\Passport; at the top & the Passport::routes part in the boot method. – Lottie

Hi all i have same issue of Unauthenticated. But my fault is in Postman Header i set Authorization:'Bearer token'. it replace to Authorization:Bearer token.So sad.. Now it working

Answer 3

The default oauth routes are assigned the web and auth middleware so you have to find a way to assign them the auth:api middleware.

I also prefer to use an api/oauth prefix for consistency.

In your AuthServiceProvider

Passport::routes(null, array('prefix' => 'api/oauth', 'middleware'  =>  array('auth:api', 'web', 'auth')));

That will give you the api/oauth prefix AND add the auth:api middleware so you can authenticate via Bearer tokens.

Keep in mind you'll encounter some CSRF token issues that using

Passport::ignoreCsrfToken(true);

Doesn't seem to solve.

You'll need to pass in the proper headers (see CSRF Protection under: https://laravel.com/docs/6.x/passport#consuming-your-api-with-javascript):

When using this method of authentication, you will need to ensure a valid CSRF token header is included in your requests. The default Laravel JavaScript scaffolding includes an Axios instance, which will automatically use the encrypted XSRF-TOKEN cookie value to send a X-XSRF-TOKEN header on same-origin requests.
