OpenAtlas » OpenAtlas Discovery

JSON Web Tokens are a standardized way to transmit signed information that can be verified by the server. In our case, a JWT token is used to access the OpenAtlas API when it is set to not public, so that user-facing or presentation applications can still retrieve data from the OpenAtlas database.

Since the OpenAtlas API already supports the creation and use of JWT tokens, it would be beneficial to add support for this in OpenAtlas Discovery as well.

At the moment, only OpenAtlas administrators can manually create tokens in the admin area. I will extend these capabilities if the need arises.

To use a token, add the following to the HTTP request header:

Authorization: Bearer <jwt_token>
