Auto-Login (Passwordless Access): Users can log in via a special "auto-login link" (URL) without entering a password. This is useful for preventing the transfer of passwords to third parties or simplifying user access.
Implementation: A token is requested from the Watcher API and then sent via a POST method to authorize the user.
External Authorization (Auth Backend): Flussonic can connect to an external authorization backend to verify if a user is allowed to access specific streams or VOD files. This allows integration with existing third-party billing or user management systems. API-Based Authentication:
HTTP Basic Auth: Standard login and password according to HTTP Basic Auth can be used to manage features over HTTP.
Bearer Auth: Flussonic also supports Bearer token-based authentication for API calls.
