Authentication
GeminiDB supports token-based authentication.
The validity period of a token is 24 hours. If a token is required, the system caches the token to avoid frequent calling.
A token specifies temporary permissions in a computer system. During API authentication using a token, the token is added to a request to get permissions for calling the API.
If you want to use a token for authentication, you need to obtain the user's token and add X-Auth-Token to the request header of the service API to make an API call.
When you call an API to obtain a user token, set auth.scope in the request body to project.
{
"auth": {
"identity": {
"methods": [
"password"
],
"password": {
"user": {
"name": "username",
"password": "password",
"domain": {
"name": "domainname"
}
}
}
},
"scope": {
"project": {
"name": "xxxxxxxx"
}
}
}
}
After a token is obtained, add field X-Auth-Token to the request header to specify the token when other APIs are called. For example, if the token is ABCDEFJ...., add X-Auth-Token: ABCDEFJ.... to a request header as follows:
POST https://{{Endpoint}}/v3/auth/projects
Content-Type: application/json
X-Auth-Token: ABCDEFJ....
