Login Feature: Invalid JWToken crashes backend

Created by: lecegues

Description

After a server restart, any existing sessions (cookie token) is not handled gracefully-- will shut down the whole backend if it is read by the system.

What could be the problem?

• I believe it could be due to cookie session management? I think that the generated tokens are forgotten upon restart of the server. I do not know fully why the server crashes though, as invalid tokens seem to be handled properly in the code.

Steps to Reproduce (Local & Dockerized)

1. Start Frontend and Backend
2. Login with correct credentials and stay logged in (do not log out)
3. Restart the frontend & backend services
4. Once frontend/backend starts back up, using the same browser go to the website
5. The backend service should crash upon noticing the cookie token
