Technical details

The authentication workflow is as follows:

  • App 1 asks core where 'App 2' is located
  • App 1 sends a request to /api/authenticate on App 2
  • App 2 asks core to see if App 1 is an authenticated Labrador app
  • App 2 generates an API token valid for 1 hour and sends it to App 1
  • App 1 can then communicate with App 2 without help from core until the token expires
