Authentication special remote

Open effigies opened this issue 2 months ago • 2 comments

What would you like to see added?

It should be possible for us to provide authenticated access to restricted data according to the following logic:

  • Receive GET $KEY request
  • Load user token
  • Send $KEY request to authentication server
  • Receive access URL with authorization token (or URL to encrypted file and a decryption key)
  • Fetch $KEY from out-of-band URL, decrypt if needed

Alternatives

This is an alternative to the special remote accessing an API that authenticates and returns the data over the same connection.

Do you have any interest in helping implement the feature?

Yes
