Authentication with Catena unsafe

UNSAFE login is designed to provide a low friction method for authenticating against Catena in development environments. An unsafe credential is created on the fly when it is first used, has no password, and does not require a database.

Configuration

To use the unsafe provider with the Catena authentication service, make sure it is enabled in the configuration.

{
  "Catena": {
    "Authentication": {
      "PROVIDER_UNSAFE": {
        "IsEnabled": true
      }
    }
  }
}

Usage

To authenticate with an unsafe login, specify PROVIDER_UNSAFE in your authentication request and provide a username formatted with the test prefix, followed by two numbers (for example: test01).

Refer to the following code samples.

Code Sample

curl -i -X POST \
  http://localhost:5000/api/v1/authentication/login \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{
    "provider": "PROVIDER_UNSAFE",
    "payload": "test01"
  }'

{
  "redirectUri": "string"
}
