Hi,
So I spent some time replicating this with a fresh CE installation and got it all working 
There’s a couple of things that might have gone wrong, so instead, here’s a working set of files:

policies.json
{
"1": {
"rate": 1000,
"id": "1",
"per": 1,
"quota_max": 100,
"quota_renewal_rate": 60,
"access_rights": {
"2": {
"api_name": "TEST-2",
"api_id": "2",

]
}
},
"org_id": "test-org",
"hmac_enabled": false
}
}
I was incorrect when I said that the policies should list out, the file loader doesn’t do that, but since I spend 99% of my time debugging dashboard installs I assumed they were the same :-/
A few things to confirm as well:
- in
tyk.conf the policy record name must be policies.json
- The entry in the
policies.json file for access rights should include the ID twice, you have:
"access_rights": {
"41433797848f41a558c1573d3e55a410": {
"api_name": "My API",
"api_id": "1",
"versions": [ "Default" ]
}
You need:
"access_rights": {
"1": {
"api_name": "My API",
"api_id": "1",
"versions": [ "Default" ]
}
- the
"jwt_identity_base_field": "sub" entry should be set, otherwise Tyk assumes the “SUB” field, and I’m wondering if it’s case sensitive which might have caused side effects.
There might be other irregularities but I can’t spot them.
To generate my JWT token, I used your secret (not base64 encoded) with this handy tool, the JWT claims looked like this:
{
"iss": "Online JWT Builder",
"iat": 1490821744,
"exp": 1522357744,
"aud": "www.example.com",
"sub": "[email protected]",
"GivenName": "Johnny",
"Surname": "Rocket",
"Email": "[email protected]",
"policy-id": "1",
"Role": "Project Administrator"
}
And the final JWT was:
eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJpc3MiOiJPbmxpbmUgSldUIEJ1aWxkZXIiLCJpYXQiOjE0OTA4MjE3NDQsImV4cCI6MTUyMjM1Nzc0NCwiYXVkIjoid3d3LmV4YW1wbGUuY29tIiwic3ViIjoianJvY2tldEBleGFtcGxlLmNvbSIsIkdpdmVuTmFtZSI6IkpvaG5ueSIsIlN1cm5hbWUiOiJSb2NrZXQiLCJFbWFpbCI6Impyb2NrZTN0QGV4YW1wbGUuY29tIiwicG9saWN5LWlkIjoiMSIsIlJvbGUiOiJQcm9qZWN0IEFkbWluaXN0cmF0b3IifQ.gJ5AfJ24KwpsJrJZbdE-lq9Cz6pEi0L3uIS1PDWFBgo
Let me know if the above templates help.
Cheers,
