Laravel API Authentication (Passport); ErrorException in CryptKey.php

Question

ErrorException in CryptKey.php line 57:

Key file "file://C:\wamp\www\project\public_html\storage\oauth-private.key" permissions are not correct, should be 600 or 660 instead of 666

My Configuration as follows:

• Windows 10 64bit
• WampServer 3.1.0
• Apache 2.4.27
• PHP 7.0.23
• Laravel Framework version 5.3.31
• composer require laravel/passport=~1.0

Any idea how to solve it?

Answer 1

You can turn off file checking permissions on line 57

your CryptKey Path is vendor/league/oauth2-server/src/CryptKey.php

on line number 48 turn it to false or comment the following block in your CryptKey.php

   if ($keyPermissionsCheck === true) {
        // Verify the permissions of the key
        $keyPathPerms = decoct(fileperms($keyPath) & 0777);
        if (in_array($keyPathPerms, ['600', '660'], true) === false) {
            trigger_error(sprintf(
                'Key file "%s" permissions are not correct, should be 600 or 660 instead of %s',
                $keyPath,
                $keyPathPerms
            ), E_USER_NOTICE);
        }
    }

keyPermissionsCheck set it to false.

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

Simply CHMOD the oauth-private.key file to 600 or 660. I see that you use Windows so you can surely follow the directions in this post to do that.
