If you encounter issues during the JWT SSO setup, refer to the following common errors and their solutions:

## 401-unauthorized error when testing JWT in Postman

**Error**: 401 Unauthorized error

If you encounter a **401 Unauthorized error** while testing JWT (JSON Web Token) using Postman, this typically occurs because the authorization settings are not configured correctly.

**Steps to resolve**:

To resolve this error,

1. In Postman, open the request you are testing.
2. Navigate to the **Authorization** tab.
3. Set the authorization type to **Basic Auth**.
4. In the **Username** field, enter the **Client ID**.
5. In the **Password** field, enter the **Client Secret**.
6. Go to the **Body** tab.
7. Select the **raw** option from the dropdown and ensure the format is set to **JSON**.
8. Add the required JSON payload for the API request.
9. Click **Send** to execute the request.

Check the response for the expected results. If the request is successful, you should receive an **auth code** or token in the response.
