As the title says, our project contains a a UITesting project that uses the ItemService to login and do perform actions such as create an item, check if an item exist, etc.

However for one of our Sitecore projects it's not working and when looking at logs I've noticed the following:

Exception: Sitecore.Mvc.Diagnostics.ControllerCreationException
Message: Could not create controller: 'ServicesAuthentication'. 
Source: Sitecore.Mvc
   at Sitecore.Mvc.Controllers.SitecoreControllerFactory.CreateController(RequestContext requestContext, String controllerName)

We are running Sitecore.NET 8.2 (rev. 161221).
According to the documentation as far as I understand it, we should be able to use this API.

My question, do I have to use a different JwtSecurityTokenHandler and if so, how do I do this? Or is there another solution to this problem?

It turned out another project was loading in a newer version of this version

System.IdentityModel.Tokens.Jwt, Version=5.2.1.0

and this was conflicting with the one used by Sitecore 8.2. ( 4.0.20622.1351 )
