Status

Distributions	contrib

This extension implements configauth.GRPCClientAuthenticator and is to be used in gRPC receivers inside the auth settings as a means to embed a static token for every RPC call that will be made.

The authenticator type has to be set to bearertokenauth.

Configuration

The following is the only setting and is required:

• token: static authorization token that needs to be sent on every gRPC client call as metadata. This token is prepended by "Bearer " before being sent as a value of "authorization" key in RPC metadata.

  Note: bearertokenauth requires transport layer security enabled on the exporter.
