LoginAsync #

Authenticates a user.

If this action is successful, all further requests emitted by this SDK instance will be in the name of the authenticated user, until either the authenticated token expires, the logout action is called, or the jwt property is manually unset.

Arguments #

public async Task<JObject> LoginAsync(
  string strategy,
  JObject credentials,
  TimeSpan? expiresIn = null);

ArgumentTypeDescription
strategy
string
Strategy to use
credentials
JObject
JObject representing the credentials
expiresIn
TimeSpan?
Token duration

strategy #

The name of the authentication strategy used to log the user in.

Depending on the chosen authentication strategy, additional credential arguments may be required. The API request example on this page provides the necessary arguments for the local authentication plugin.

Check the appropriate authentication plugin documentation to get the list of additional arguments to provide.

expiresIn #

The default value for the expiresIn option is defined at server level, in Kuzzle's configuration file.

Return #

Returns a JObject with the following properties:

PropertyTypeDescription
_id
string
User's kuid
jwt
string
Encrypted JSON Web Token, that must then be sent in the requests headers or in the query
expiresAt
Int64
Token expiration date, in Epoch-millis (UTC)
ttl
Int64
Token time to live, in milliseconds

Once auth:login has been called, the returned JWT is stored by the SDK and used for all the subsequent API call, ensuring they are properly authenticated.

Exceptions #

Throws a KuzzleException if there is an error. See how to handle error.

Usage #

try {
  JObject response = await kuzzle.Auth.LoginAsync(
    "local",
    JObject.Parse("{username: 'foo', password: 'bar'}"));
  Console.WriteLine(response.ToString(Formatting.None));
  /*
  {
    "_id": "foo",
    "jwt": "eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJfa...",
    "expiresAt": 1564568979921,
    "ttl": 3600000
  }

  Console.WriteLine("Successfuly logged in");
} catch (KuzzleException e) {
  Console.WriteLine(e);
