Symfony 6.3 Login Programmatically - using lexik_jwt_authentication

Question

I succeed to fetch the Linkedin users Data, Create a User object and inject User details in it, Persist it into the DB, and even Generate a JWT token: $jwtToken = $this->jwtManager->create($userEntity);

But it seems that the token is no "active"

{
    "code": 401,
    "message": "Invalid credentials."
}

When I use directly the /api/login_check from Security it works:

{
    "message": "Welcome to your new controller!",
    "path": "src/Controller/DashboardController.php"
} 

I also tried this: return $security->login($userEntity, 'json_login', 'login'); Where "login" is the firewall used by JWT and 'json_login' the authenticator(See security). https://symfony.com/doc/current/security.html#login-programmatically

I also tried this with no success: return $authenticationSuccessHandler->handleAuthenticationSuccess($user); https://github.com/lexik/LexikJWTAuthenticationBundle/issues/1113

$userEntity is containing the right User and the JWT Token is containing all the details.

Now the JSon answer is containing the JWT Token, but is invalid when I put it in the Bearer Token.

Can you please help me? Thank you!
