Authentication to applications running on Industrial Edge Devices

Industrial Edge applications can utilize authentication mechanisms provided by the platform. This is particularly important for applications that use APIs and expose them for access.

NOTICE

This applies specifically to applications running behind the reverse proxy.

How authentication works

The authentication process involves the following steps:

1. Generate a token
   Generate a token through the Industrial Edge Device API as defined in the specifications.

2. Use the token in requests
   Include the token in the request cookie. Below is an example of how to do this using curl:
   

curl 'https://<my-ip/dns>/<app-path>' --header 'Cookie: authToken="token"'
