Static AuthN Plugin
Temporary plugin — this is a development/testing stub that will be replaced by a production-ready AuthN plugin (e.g., OIDC/JWT-based) in a future release.
Static token-to-identity mapping for the AuthN Resolver gateway.
Purpose
Provides a simple, config-driven authentication mechanism so that the platform can run end-to-end without an external identity provider. Useful for:
- Local development (
make quickstart,make example) - E2E / integration tests that need distinct user identities
- Demos and prototyping
Do not use in production.
Modes
| Mode | Description |
|---|---|
accept_all (default) |
Accepts any non-empty Bearer token and returns a configured default identity. |

Maps specific tokens to specific identities. Useful for E2E tests with multiple distinct users. |
