Simple token authenticator

Using a static token to validate users.

Configuration​

auth:
  enabled: true
  options:
    simple-token:
      - name: jax # User name
        token: some-secret # Token to authenticate
        attr: # (optional) attributes for this user
          department: engineer
      - name: ivan
        token: another-secret
        attr:
          department: intern

Simple token authenticator requires a user list to authenticate. You must set the name and token for each user, and give them some optional attributes.

caution

The tokens for every user should be different, otherwise, the last configured user overrides all the previous.

Provide credentials​

You need to add a header Authorization: sample-token <token> when sending requests, for example, sending requests with the token “another-secret”.

curl -H "Authorization: simple-token another-secret" http://localhost:3000/api/customer
