Invalid verify, using generated token with firebase createCustomToken about passport-jwt HOT 4 CLOSED

This library doesn't actually contain the code to do the verification of the JWT. passport-jwt depends on jsonwebtoken to do the verification. This module is really a lot of glue logic to handle parsing of the JWT from the request and integrate with passport.

To first start debugging this I would run your data through the verify method of jsonwebtoken (see that modules readme for documentation). If its passing verification directly through jsonwebtoken but not through passport-jwt then that would indicate that there might be a problem with the way passport-jwt is handling the interaction. Let me know what you find.

Since I haven't heard anything on this I'm going to go ahead and close. Let me know if you have any further info from debugging.

I ran into this problem myself this afternoon. The google service account key needs to be converted to the public PEM format, for which you can use node-rsa. Detailed instructions: http://stackoverflow.com/a/38187086/3421050
