Acessing secure apis:

• Obtain a JWT token here: /static/authenticate.html
  • Enter username:password > admin:12345,member:12345
  • The response contains a JWT token for that program
• Use the token when calling any secure api:
  • set the Authorization request header and add the jwt token, like so:
  • Authorization: Bearer <token>
