gRPC BasicAuth

Using BasicAuth from a client

From a client’s perspective, all you need to do is to provide credentials. Once the credentials are configured, they are used on every request in a Basic-Auth fashion (added header to request).

In order to define credentials, just set the appropriate property to a value of the format ‘username:password’, just as you would type them into your browser when a basic-auth popup appears.

# if this property is set with a value of the format 'username:password', basicauth will be used.
grpc.client.factstore.credentials=myUserName:mySecretPassword

You can always use environment variables or a -D switch in order to inject the credentials.
