Authentication

By default, Whitefox runs with authentication disabled.

Token authentication

We provide a simple way to secure your application using a single static token.

To enable token authentication you need to:

• set whitefox.server.authentication.enabled to true
• set whitefox.server.authentication.bearerToken to a secret string

After doing so, you need to provide a http header such as Authentication: Bearer $token in every request otherwise you will receive a 401 error authentication error on the client.

property name	default value	description
whitefox.server.authentication.enabled	false	either true or false to enable authentication
whitefox.server.authentication.bearerToken		the token used for authentication

In order to set configurations refer to Quarkus documentation.
