Setting the Authentication Method for the API

In the configuration.json file (located in api directory), there is an authentication setting. You can choose the preferred authentication method:

1. No authentication - remove the line:

"authentication": "publicKey.pem",

1. Public/Private key authentication - specify the .pem file with the public key:

"authentication": "publicKey.pem",

1. Secret-based authentication - create a file containing the secret and specify the filename:

"authentication": "secret.txt",

Ensure that the file contains only the secret (no newlines). For example, you can create it on Linux:

echo -n 'secret' > secret.txt

After updating the configuration, restart the API service to apply the changes.

JWT Token Guidelines

Please take into consideration these guidelines when generating the JWT token:

• the expiration date should be included as an integer, not a string;

• the secret has to be base64 encoded in the token;

• the token should be encoded with base64URL.

You can also to set the authentication method directly in the configuration file.
