I am using postman 6.1.3 and mac os 10.13.4.
My login request return a cookie and postman set it to cookies I can see that cookie in postman cookies part. But all the requests after login not add that cookie . Can postman manage all cookies?
I ran across your post while searching for an issue with cookies since last Postman update.
Hope this might help:

I ran into the same issue. I found out that I had "Inherit auth from parent" on under the request's authorization. Turning that off (no auth) populated the cookies for the request.

I have read tons of SO and no luck. How do I send cookies in API requests from chrome extension?
I want to make a post request to my API through chrome extension. But, the API is protected. Luckily, I can get the cookie for the API if I am already logged into my app with chrome.cookie. But, how do you attach that cookie to the API request?
I can get the cookie of the website with chrome.cookie, but how do I attach that cookie to the API request?
If the request in Mozilla looks like this, how can I make this request using postman and python. I couldn't find a way to set cookies in postman and I would appreciate any help
In postman in request tab below Send button, there is an option to Add cookie. If you want to know more about configuring cookie in Postman you can refer here

I am trying to build a web app using Django and DRF at the back-end and ReactJs at the front end and I want to keep them separate (i.e. avoid Server Side Rendering).For authentication purposes, I want to employ JWT and I am using djangorestframework-jwt for that. I have read it at several places that it is not secure to store JWTs in the local storage so I am trying to use HttpOnly cookies for that. One can achieve that by configuring the django server to send HttpOnly by overriding the following default settings of the drf-jwt package in the settings.py file of your project JWT_AUTH = { 'JWT_AUTH_COOKIE': '<cookie name>', } which is set to none by default. The server sends the httpOnly cookie as anticipated but there are a few issues I am facing:
1.Same Domain Restraint
I am aware that httpOnly cookies wont be attached to the request headers unless the request is being made to the server which is hosted on the some domain. In my case I am using localhost:8000 for django and localhost:3000 for my react project so the browser doesnt attach the cookie as the request is made to a different port. I tried running both app on port 3000 simultaneously, and the browser did attach the cookie in the header and I did get the a 302 response from the server. However, it opened door to all sorts of problems due domain clash. I reckon I can solve this problem using nginx reverse proxy or something like that but I am not sure about it. Do guide me how can I serve both apps on the same host during the development.
2. Token Refresh Problem
When I refer to the view setup to refresh the token, I run into a bad request error even when the browser does attach the cookie along the request header. This is the server response in the browser
{"token":["This field is required."]}
Thanks if for reading it all the way down here!
In order for things to be secure:
You need CORS (Quickstart: CORS_ALLOWED_HOSTS=["http://localhost:3000"], CORS_ALLOW_CREDENTIALS=True)
The short-lived token (session) cookie (5-15mins), should NOT have HTTP-ONLY setting
The refresh token cookie SHALL have HTTP-ONLY setting
Then your basic flow is:
On login Django creates session token and sends it
Your SPA reads the cookie and adds its value to the authorization header (Authorization: JWT ...token...)
Any request to Django should be made with that Authorization header
The refresh flow is:
Send a request to the refresh token endpoint following the documentation of the library you use
Django then reads the HTTP-ONLY cookie and verifies it
If valid, Django sends a new refresh token as HTTP-ONLY cookie along with a new short-lived token session cookie
Once the refresh token has expired, you log the user out.
An article here goes into detail using GraphQL, but the cookie part and handling of most of the frontend code you should be able to adapt to REST.
I have a Django website I also recently created a WordPress website to advertise the company. In the WordPress website, I created a custom login popup that makes the login request to Django gets the tokens and then redirects to the Django System. But when it gets to Django the cookies with tokens are not set and the user is requested to log in again. Any Idea why? Is there a configuration I should set?
Thanks for the help
you can put your token in header rather than cookie
you can add cors header in http request and response which can help you pass cookie in different web, look this django-cors-header
I am using Ember and Ember-simple-auth. This question is to clear my confusion related to cookies etc.
I have configured ember storage to Cookie.
My server is sending a cookie to be saved at client side. i.e
Set-Cookie: dejavu.session=WwwLQjdfOoNz_-bhyYpBLvzew7IUaJuu; Path=/; Expires=Mon, 28-May-2018 15:59:30 GMT
I have understanding that
browser automatically captures the cookie from set-cookie in header (mean it should be visible in dev tool)
browser automatically add this cookie in subsequent requests.
I don't need to do anything extra with Ember Simple Auth as server cookie is by default handled by browser.
Based on this understanding, in Chrome inspector I just see one cookie of ember-simple-auth and nothing else.
My questions are:
1- Should I see a separate cookie (the one sent from server) in dev tool along with Ember cookie (set by Ember simple Auth)? or my server cookie has to be embedded in Ember Cookie? I actually don't see server cookie on my dev tools so I am confused.
2- Is this right concept that ember cookie is storage for Ember but server cookie is the one that browser will capture and send in header in subsequent requests?
ok. I found the solution after spending alot of testing and exploration.
Answer to my both questions is:
There is a bug in chrome dev tools that doesn't show the cookie sent from server. We don't need to embed server cookie in ember cookie. Browser manages cookies itself. Only server has to send a cookie and then browser will manage it e.g discard it if it expires and then automatically add it to header of each subsequent requests to be sent via api. We can see the cookie as request is sent, in our dev tools 'Network' tab under request headers.
With session cookie and Ember-simple-auth we don't need to set authoriser in header (for adding cookie in header) as this will override the session cookie (that was set by browser).
So when using Ember-simple-auth and session authentication, correct flow is:
add addon
setup authenticator (follow github docs)
don't set authorizer (as told in docs)
