4. Enter your Instance Locator ID and your complete Secret Key (find them in the Credentials section of your Chatkit instance dashboard) at the top of the file src/main/java/com/example/authserver/AuthenticationController.java.
5. In a terminal window, execute mvnw spring-boot:run to run the server or in an IDE, execute the main class of the application (com.example.authserver.AuthserverApplication.java).
6. You can use a REST client (like Postman) to test the authentication endpoint using the following information:

URL: http://localhost:8080/authenticate?user_id=eh&passw=12345 (specify your own user credentials if you changed them)
HTPP method: POST
