Hi guys! I was faced with a problem related to the client key configuration for my server. I have defined the clientKey property for parse server configuration and my code to start server looks like this:
const api = new ParseServer({
databaseURI: databaseUri || 'mongodb://localhost:27017/dev',
serverURL: process.env.SERVER_URL || `http://localhost:${port}${mountPath}`,
appId: process.env.APP_ID || '*MyAppId*',
masterKey: process.env.MASTER_KEY || '*MyMasterKey*',
clientKey: process.env.CLIENT_KEY || '*MyClientKey*',
cloud: process.env.CLOUD_CODE_MAIN || 'cloud/main.js',
liveQuery: {
classNames: ['TestModel']
}
});
const app = express();
app.use(express.static(path.join(__dirname, '/public')));
app.use('/', require('./cloud/main.js').app);
app.use(mountPath, api);
const httpServer = require('http').createServer(app);
httpServer.listen(port, () => {
console.log(`Running on http://localhost:${port}`);
});
ParseServer.createLiveQueryServer(httpServer);
When I make a request to the local server to call the cloud function (I specified the headers for AppId, MasterKey and ClientKey), it gives me an error - 400 Bad Request with {"error":"unauthorized"}. It’s also worth noting that the function uses the useMasterKey property:
const config = await Parse.Config.get({ useMasterKey: true });
I found 2 ways to make the function work, but these solutions don’t work for me:
- Remove ClientKey from the server settings. Then it won’t be required and the request will go through. But for this we only have to specify AppId in the headers, I want to leave the security of requests using both AppId and ClientKey;
- Remove the use of { useMasterKey: true } inside the function. This is basically impossible, because the configuration stores information without which the function will not run, and hardcoding is bad form.
I have looked through the documentation and many questions on the internet, but I have not found a solution to the problem. What could be the problem with this behavior?
P.S. All server and query configuration keys are correct and identical.
