Secure all rest api endpoints about simple-jwt-login

[nicumicle]

Hello @shotor @melomontoya @kristjanmar,

The tag 3.4.0 has this functionality. You can not secure all rest endpoints or only specific endpoints with a JWT.
Also, when you secure all endpoints, you can set a specific list that can be whitelisted.

Please let me know what do you think.

Best regards,
Nicu.

Or is there a way to validate the token tru PHP? I would like to validate the token on some endpoints.

Have you tried the "Force login" (https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-force-login/) plugin?

Hi, "Force login" plugin doesn't fit 'cause it checks for "if( ! is_user_logged_in())" which doesn't work with JWT or nothing compatible with our APP. Is there a proper/safe way to make the "whitelist" work. We have tried the "1 file plugin" and "function.php" but it doesn't work.
Thanks

Ok, after some digging we figured it out. Seems like the problem was the "array_merge" between both arrays. We changed it fot a foreach loop that "pushes" each endpoint and now it works. Oh, btw, it is also a one file plugin 'cause it wouldn't work on the functions.php

This is the final code

`/////////////////////////////////////////
//////// JWT WHITELIST para endpoints sin verificacion
/////////////////////////////////////////

if ( ! defined( 'ABSPATH' ) ) {
exit; // Exit if accessed directly.
}

/----------------------------------------------------------------------------/
/**

• JWT whitelist
  */

add_filter(
'jwt_auth_whitelist',
function ( $endpoints ) {
$whitelists = array(
'/wp-json/MYENDPOINT/v1/home',
'/wp-json/MYENDPOINT/v1/stripewebhook'
);

	foreach ( $whitelists as $whitelist ) {
		if ( ! in_array( $whitelist, $endpoints, true ) ) {
			array_push( $endpoints, $whitelist );
		}
	}

	return $endpoints;
}

);

?>

I'm interested in this as well. What did you do to restrict the endpoints before adding the whitelist code?
