ict4510-api-service's Issues

500 error generated when login user object contains incorrect property name

The validation lib does not check specifically for the correct username property. As a result the incorrect user object reaches the model layer and generates a 500 error. The validation lib needs to check for specifically a property named "username". I didn't account for varying names being used. i.e. userName, user_name

Firefox CORS problem

Firefox does not accept wildcard values in CORS configuration.
