Orchestrating Authentication

To simplify client access to secured backends, authentication can be handled transparently by the API gateway.

The gateway can orchestrate various authentication methods—Basic Auth, API keys, OAuth2, or, as in this example, cookie-based authentication.

This example demonstrates how to delegate the login step using the call plugin to retrieve a SESSION cookie and inject it automatically into subsequent requests.

Running the Example

  1. Start the Router

    ./membrane.sh  # Linux/Mac  
membrane.bat   # Windows

  2. Test the flow:

    curl -i http://localhost:2000

    Should return:

    HTTP/1.1 200 OK

Success!

Check proxies.xml to see the <call> + cookie logic.
