Token Authentication

As an alternative to using SSL certificates for authentication when sending data to the /datafeed endpoint, you can use a JSON Web Token . Using a token for authentication requires that Stroom or Stroom-Proxy have been configured with identityProviderType set to EXTERNAL_IDP (see External IDP for details on the configuration for an external IDP and how to generate a token).

To attach a token to the request you just need to set the HTTP header Authorization with a value of the form

Bearer YOUR_TOKEN_GOES_HERE
