# 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
| `accept_all` (default) | Accepts any non-empty `Bearer` token and returns a configured default identity. |
| `static_tokens` | Maps specific tokens to specific identities. Useful for E2E tests with multiple distinct users. |
## Configuration
```yaml
modules:
static_authn_plugin:
config:
vendor: "hyperspot"
priority: 100
mode: accept_all # or "static_tokens"
default_identity:
subject_id: "11111111-6a88-4768-9dfc-6bcd5187d9ed"
subject_tenant_id: "00000000-df51-5b42-9538-d2b56b7ee953"
token_scopes: ["*"]
tokens: [] # populated in static_tokens mode
```
## Feature Flag
The server binary includes this plugin only when built with the `static-authn` feature:
```bash
cargo build --bin hyperspot-server --features static-authn
```
The `make example` target enables this feature automatically.
