Error 404 when trying to login using access token

seednextsrl

Hello everyone,

I'm new to fusionAuth and I've just implemented a standard login into my PHP app using username and password.

I receive a correct success response with a token on top, which I store in the user's session, but if I try to call the login api using the token instead of the password, as explained here, I get a 404 error response:

FusionAuth\ClientResponse Object
(
    [errorResponse] => 
    [exception] => 
    [method] => POST
    [request] => Array
        (
            [applicationId] => app_id
            [loginId] => username
            [password] => very_long_access_token
            [ipAddress] => 93.147.229.20
        )

    [successResponse] => 
    [status] => 404
)

Any idea on a possible cause for this error?

Thank you!

@seednextsrl you typically don't use the access token as a login password.

The access token is what you present to other applications as proof that someone has logged in.

There are a few FusionAuth APIs you can call and present the access token as a means of authentication. They are marked with a little blue person.

Here's more about API authentication: https://fusionauth.io/docs/v1/tech/apis/authentication

Here's an example of an API which uses a JWT to authenticate: https://fusionauth.io/docs/v1/tech/apis/users#retrieve-a-user (scroll to the "Retrieve a User using a JWT" section).
