Laravel - Passport API integration | Error: {"message":"Unauthenticated."}

I am new to Laravel. I have just started learning Laravel passport integration using this reference link.

Below is my route file api.php

Route::post('login', 'API\PassportController@login'); // this is working fine
Route::post('register', 'API\PassportController@register'); // this is working fine
Route::group(['middleware' => 'auth:api'], function(){
   Route::post('get-details' , 'API\PassportController@getDetails'); // This is giving me error
});

PassportController.php >> getDetails() function code,

/**
 * details api
 *
 * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
 */
public function getDetails()
{
    $user = Auth::user();
    return response()->json(['success' => $user], $this->successStatus);
}

config/auth.php

'guards' => [
    'web' => [
        'driver' => 'session',
        'provider' => 'users',
    ],

    'api' => [
        'driver' => 'passport',
        'provider' => 'users',
    ],
],

I have updated rest of the files as mentioned in the article.

Registration and login APIs are working fine but when I try to run /get-details api, I am getting {"message":"Unauthenticated."} in response.

In the headers I am passing values like below, enter image description here

Strange thing is that same code is working fine at my localhost server (OS- Windows) but when I run this API on my hosting server (OS- ubuntu) then it does not work.

Could anyone help me in resolving this issue? Is this related to server configuration settings? I am even not able to debug this code to check where I am doing wrong.

Thanks in advance!!

this worked for me, i added this code in controller

public function __construct()
    {
        $this->middleware('auth:api');
    }

then run this command: php artisan optimize:clear and get my Auth::user()

try installing the package laravel-cors and adding the Authorization header in the allowedHeaders option provided by the package.

'allowedHeaders' => ['Authorization']

May be that can solve the header not sending problem.

or you may need to change the apache setting

Edit your .htaccess file, may be there is some configuration issue.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization} .
RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]

Did you add Passport::routes(); in AuthServiceProvider

<?php

 namespace App\Providers;

 use Laravel\Passport\Passport;
 use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Gate;
 use Illuminate\Foundation\Support\Providers\AuthServiceProvider as 
 ServiceProvider;

 class AuthServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
 {
/**
 * The policy mappings for the application.
 *
 * @var array
 */
protected $policies = [
    'App\Model' => 'App\Policies\ModelPolicy',
];

/**
 * Register any authentication / authorization services.
 *
 * @return void
 */
  public function boot()
  {
    $this->registerPolicies();
    Passport::routes();
    Passport::tokensExpireIn(now()->addDays(15));
    //Passport::refreshTokensExpireIn(now()->addDays(30));
    //
   }
}

auth:api middleware is expecting the request to come in via JSON.

It's looking for X-Requested-With : XMLHttpRequest in the incoming request headers. When it can't find it, it falls into the unauthenticated method in app/Exceptions/Handler, and returns an error.

If you add X-Requested-With : XMLHttpRequest to your request headers, it should resolve the issue.

Did u pass the api token in header. If not , first you have to pass login details to api and get the api token. Then pass this token to the request , which u r trying to ac ess . Another possibility is u need to run the Passport install command again if ur environment change from local to live
