@dronavallisaikrishna :

• can you show me your .jhipster/Institute.json file plz ?
• I think the property microserviceName is missing ; if you put something like "microserviceName": "StarAuthentication", I think it should work

I got the fix, I will do a PR soon

@pascalgrimaud Thanks. This worked. Can you please update me once after you update the jhipster codebase to handle this automatically.
thanks.

@dronavallisaikrishna : master branch contains the fix. So it will be in the next release
