Generate JWTs

You need to generate a JWT for each user. The JWT is used to authenticate the user. Run the following commands, remember to replace the APPLICATION_ID variable with id of your application.

For Alice:

nexmo jwt:generate ./private.key exp=$(($(date +%s)+86400)) acl='{"paths":{"/*/users/**":{},"/*/conversations/**":{},"/*/sessions/**":{},"/*/devices/**":{},"/*/image/**":{},"/*/media/**":{},"/*/applications/**":{},"/*/push/**":{},"/*/knocking/**":{},"/*/legs/**":{}}}' sub=Alice application_id=APPLICATION_ID

And for Bob:

nexmo jwt:generate ./private.key exp=$(($(date +%s)+86400)) acl='{"paths":{"/*/users/**":{},"/*/conversations/**":{},"/*/sessions/**":{},"/*/devices/**":{},"/*/image/**":{},"/*/media/**":{},"/*/applications/**":{},"/*/push/**":{},"/*/knocking/**":{},"/*/legs/**":{}}}' sub=Bob application_id=APPLICATION_ID

The above commands set the expiry of the JWT to one day from now, which is the maximum.

Make a note of the JWT you generated for each user.
