Authentication configuration

ClawIO authentication can be controlled using one of the following controllers:

• The memory controller authenticates users against a list loaded from the configuration file.
• The SQL controller authenticates users against a SQL database.

ClawIO uses the memory controller by default with one predefined user: demo:demo

These controllers do not support mutable operations (create, upate, delete) of users, they are just read providers.

We plan to develop more plugins for LDAP/AD, SAML and also mutable providers to manage users.

To change the authentication controller, specify the type you want to use in the configuration file:

{
 "authenticaton": {
    "type": "memory",
  },
}
