gws.plugin.auth_method.token

HTTP Token authorisation method.

The token authorization works by passing a token in an HTTP header. For example, with this configuration:

auth.methods+ {
    type "token"
    header "X-My-Auth"
    prefix "Bearer"

}

the application would expect a header like X-My-Auth: Bearer <token>, extract the token value and pass it along to authorization providers.
