I have postman collection that is running perfect that sending the complete file json as body of the request by running it and selecting the json file.  
but when executing with Newman is not working fine, I am putting the -d filename with it giving me error 401 (same as running the collection without selecting the file).  
any help please.  
what I am missing here?

Hi @Fathalla

This thread looks like it answers your question…

> Hi, @dcarva! Welcome. Globals can be passed as a command line parameter, either as a JSON file path/URL (via --globals) or individually (via --global-var).
