Hi

Stupid question but I can not get the JWT Bearer Authorization type function to apply in the request headers.

As you see I have added the relevant details for JWT generation and assigned Postman to put the token to Authorization header as Bearer

But it does not apply in the headers:

It seems the issue specifically happens when I want to generate the JWT in RS256 algorithm.

I don’t think you will see it in the headers tab like you do for the basic Bearer Token due to how its only generated when the request is sent.

Try sending the request and then check the headers in the console log to see what was actually sent.
