Hello

We are using OSS v3 and we would like to enable npm tokens for users , instead of using static credentials

we enabled NPM bearer token realm , but when user try to generate they have an error message ( code _EAUTHUNKNOWN_)

verbose stack Error: Unable to authenticate, need: Basic, Bearer

any idea what i should change in my configuraation ?

Thanks  
John
