jHipster swagger api-doc not sending JWT authorization header resulting in 401

Question

Generating a project with jhipster@6.2.0 with API-First development and JWT does not send the authorization header.

api.yml (default generated with addition of /api prefix and pet path/schema)

The authorization header is sent for the account-resources GET /api/account

However it is not sent for the pet request GET /api/pet/findByStatus resulting in a 401 Unauthorized.

In src/main/webapp/swagger-ui/index.html

                function addApiKeyAuthorization() {
                    var authToken = JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem("jhi-authenticationtoken") || sessionStorage.getItem("jhi-authenticationtoken"));
                    var apiKeyAuth = new SwaggerClient.ApiKeyAuthorization("Authorization", "Bearer " + authToken, "header");
                    window.swaggerUi.api.clientAuthorizations.add("bearer", apiKeyAuth);
                }

The clientAuthorization is added with the key "bearer" instead of the autogenerated "jwt".

Changing jwt to bearer resolves it
