Hi,

we are having the following problem: We have some IOT devices, that shall call a set of Rest Endpoints, to submit a status. Now at the moment, every API hit has to pass the authentication token in the call header. But the IOT devices can only make simple GET Calls to the REST endpoints. Is there any way simplify the authentication method for a certain set of REST endpoints?

Thanks in advance!

    Hi @timmy.shumate

    You can pass token on the query string and check it on the server side. You can check QueryStringTokenResolver in AuthConfigurer.cs for a similar usage when connecting with SignalR to server.
