2.16.2 - Cookie Based Authentication

November 26, 2024

New Features

  • The REST API Connection options now support cookie-based authentication. This method uses HTTP cookies to store a session identifier, which the server uses to authenticate subsequent requests. To configure cookie-based authentication, you need to provide the following:
    • Login URI: The endpoint used to initiate the authentication process.
    • Authentication location: How the service expects credentials (headers, body, or query parameters).
    • Credential keys: The names of the parameters used for the username and password.
    • Cookie keys: The names of the cookies used for authentication, including the session cookie.
    • Session duration: The lifetime of the session token, including the duration and unit of time.
