Answer 1

Solution:

Here i got the solution.

The problem with the default configuration of Jhipster user creation.
When we create app and entity using Jhipster then it also create user authentication as their functionality.
But in my case user was not created in database which i selected during creation.

Responsible Tables:-

1. jhi_user
2. jhi_user_authority
3. jhi_authority

So, We just need to provide details of default user of Jhipster in these tables.

Username: admin
Password: admin

make sure password is in encrypted form.

In my case (in dev profile) , i update the JWT token , changing to base64 in all the applications (microservice, gateway and registry), additionally, comment the old property "secret" and use the same key in all. Then test the API from the gateway correctly, without authorization problems.

jh version 5.7.1

Looks like you execute your JHipster registry with authentication and your application without. In case you didn't change your JHipster jwt secret key you have to execute your application(microservice) with next parameters:

--spring.security.user.password=admin --jhipster.security.authentication.jwt.secret=my-secret-key-which-should-be-changed-in-production-and-be-base64-encoded --spring.cloud.config.server.composite.0.type=native --spring.cloud.config.server.composite.0.search-locations=file:./central-config

You secret JWT key you could find in central-config package in application.yml file

Answer 4

Just adding this in the hope it saves somebody some time: I had this error when trying to login after I generated the app. The tests ran fine. For me deleting the target folder and rebuilding the whole project seemed to solve it.
