third part of secret is not the same.
can you help with this?

JWT.io says for secret

RSASHA256(
base64UrlEncode(header) + "." +
base64UrlEncode(payload)

var jwtSecret = xxxx
var app_key=yyyy

// Set headers for JWT
var header = {
'alg': 'HS256'
};

// Prepare timestamp in seconds
var currentTimestamp = Math.floor(Date.now() / 1000)

var data = {
'iss': app_key,
'iat': currentTimestamp,
}

function base64url(source) {
// Encode in classical base64
encodedSource = CryptoJS.enc.Base64.stringify(source)

// Remove padding equal characters
encodedSource = encodedSource.replace(/=+$/, '')

// Replace characters according to base64url specifications
encodedSource = encodedSource.replace(/\+/g, '-')
encodedSource = encodedSource.replace(/\//g, '_')

return encodedSource

}

// encode header
var stringifiedHeader = CryptoJS.enc.Utf8.parse(JSON.stringify(header))
var encodedHeader = base64url(stringifiedHeader)

// encode data
var stringifiedData = CryptoJS.enc.Utf8.parse(JSON.stringify(data))
var encodedData = base64url(stringifiedData)

// build token
var token = ${encodedHeader}.${encodedData}

// sign token
var signature = CryptoJS.HmacSHA256(token, jwtSecret)
signature = base64url(signature)
var signedToken = ${token}.${signature}

pm.environment.set('jwt', signedToken)
'

this error :
`Array

[error] => stdClass Object

[message] => Headers missing or invalid.
)

thanks for this code snippet ;)

This was helpful. I am curious though, what is the reasoning for + 257 on line 16?

I am trying to RS256 too.
could you share the script ? thanks.

I am also facing the same issue. Has anyone found a solution to this?

In my case changed secret to base64 worked perfectly. Those who are facing problem can try this out

var signature = CryptoJS.HmacSHA256(token, CryptoJS.enc.Base64.parse(secret));
