Login #

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 authentication token property is manually unset.

Arguments #

CompletableFuture<Map<String, Object>> login(
  final String strategy,
  final Map<String, Object> credentials,
  final String expiresIn) 
  throws NotConnectedException, InternalException

CompletableFuture<Map<String, Object>> login(
  final String strategy,
  final Map<String, Object> credentials) 
  throws NotConnectedException, InternalException

Argument	Type	Description
`strategy`	String	Strategy to use
`credentials`	Map<String, Object>	Hashmap representing the credentials
`expiresIn`	String	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 (opens new window).

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 Hashmap with the following properties:

Property	Type	Description
`_id`	String	User's `kuid`
`jwt`	String	Encrypted authentication token, that must then be sent in the requests headers or in the query
`expiresAt`	int	Token expiration date, in Epoch-millis (UTC)
`ttl`	int	Token time to live, in milliseconds

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

Usage #

Map<String, Object> credentials = new HashMap<>();
