• To authenticate make a POST request to:

  localhost:8080/login

  with the User (see implementation) in the body. You should receive a blank message with the JWT token in the Authorization header. The token is a long string with "Bearer" prefix, something like that:

  Bearer eyJhbGciOiJI........A.LOT.OF.CHARACTERS.......eNRCd_76Q

• To make authenticated requests against the task controller simply put the received token in the Authorization header of all your following requests.
