Authentication

Observed behavior

Say we start the server this way:

  ...
  const agent = await buildAgent();
  const app = express();
  await agent.mountOnExpress(app).start();
  app.listen(env.PORT);
  ...

Now I want to add a middleware to control the JSON payload limit like:

  const agent = await buildAgent();
  const app = express();
  app.use(express.json({ limit: '5mb' }));
  await agent.mountOnExpress(app).start();
  app.listen(env.PORT);

Now the server will return a code 500 on the route /forest/authentication.

Expected behavior

The route /forest/authentication returns a code 200.

Thanks for your help :slight_smile:

Hello @Aldric_Libonis,

The first issue would lie in the fact that you have to use our middleware before any other like shown on our documentation. Our middleware is also setting a limit to 50mb, this may conflict with what you might try to achieve and sadly for the moment this is not configurable.

Best regards,
