Hi.
I have a local, vanilla Strapi installation deployed on Heroku using Heroku CLI. Admin UI and Content API work fine but I cannot log in frontend users. All I can get from the /api/auth/local endpoint is

{
    "data" : null,
    "error" : {
        "status" : 403,
        "name" : "ForbiddenError",
        "message" : "Forbidden",
        "details" : {}
    }
}

I can get JWT from the local installation at http://localhost:1337/api/auth/local and have no problem with the same installation and environment on the DigitalOcean App service. Just Heroku is giving me a headache.
I’m using curl for checking JWT:
curl -d "identifier=********&password=*****" -X POST https://******.herokuapp.com/api/auth/local. Again, same line works fine on localhost and on DigitalOcean App service.

Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers.
