JWT authorization laravel / angularjs issue

So I am trying to create a basic JWT token authentication.

I am using Laravel as my backend API with tymon/jwt-auth for creating tokens / refreshing tokens and providing middleware to check for tokens.

I am using AngularJS with Satellizer to store the returned token in local storage and send said token for all future requests.

I am using Laravel 5.1 / Jwt-auth 0.5.* / AngularJs 1.4.7 / Satellizer (latest).

I log in and the token is stored in my local storage. I then try to make a call to authentcate's index to "get all users" and the authorization header is there with Bearer <token stored in local storage> but I get the response of "token_not_provided" almost as if the middleware is not looking in the authorization header for the token. Here is some of my code. I am following http://ift.tt/1FNj4m6.

AuthenticateController.php:

<?php namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Http\Requests;
use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
use JWTAuth;
use Tymon\JWTAuth\Exceptions\JWTException;
use App\User;

class AuthenticateController extends Controller
{

    public function __construct()
    {
        // Apply the jwt.auth middleware to all methods in this controller
        // except for the authenticate method. We don't want to prevent
        // the user from retrieving their token if they don't already have it
        $this->middleware('jwt.auth', ['except' => ['authenticate']]);
    }

    public function index()
    {
        // Retrieve all the users in the database and return them
        $users = User::all();
        return $users;
    }

    public function authenticate(Request $request)
    {
        $credentials = $request->only('email', 'password');

        try {
            // verify the credentials and create a token for the user
            if (!$token = JWTAuth::attempt($credentials)) {
                return response()->json(['error' => 'invalid_credentials'], 401);
            }
        } catch (JWTException $e) {
            // something went wrong
            return response()->json(['error' => 'could_not_create_token'], 500);
        }

        // if no errors are encountered we can return a JWT
        return response()->json(compact('token'));
    }
}
