Header authentication #39

Closed miranda-elliott closed 5 years ago

miranda-elliott commented 5 years ago

I want to use header authentication with qdt-components. I have the virtual proxy prefix in the config, but how do I pass the user header and xrf-key header and URL parameter with each call (like in this example)? I don't see any documentation around this. Thank you.

You don't pass the user header and xrf-key with websocket requests from the browser. What you have to do instead is make a request to a REST endpoint (I use 'qps/user') and pass the user header with that before qdt-components creates any websocket connections. That REST endpoint request will return a set-cookie header and set a cookie that will be passed with every websocket request.

I am also trying to authenticate following the instructions here, which when run with Postman returns a Set-Cookie with my custom proxy etc.

I am running this request on startup in my Angular app, but I am getting a number of different errors:

Cannot read property 'config' of undefined

'Please specify a qConfig global variable' error

Could anyone please provide some instructions as to how to actually authenticate through Angular?
