multi authority end points

[mehdy-dev]

Hello guys, as we have several authentication provider for different end users, so i wanted to know is it possible to fallback authentication loop towards second provider or third, in the case first failed, as a work around if we create wrapper routes for same downstream and register second authentication provider in the start up it will work, while without upstream wrapper is it possible? I mean having array of token authentication provider instead of only one.

Instead of

"AuthenticationOptions": {
                "AuthenticationProviderKey": "Bearer",
                "AllowedScopes": []
            },

having

"AuthenticationOptions": {
                "AuthenticationProviderKey": ["Bearer","app1","app2"]
                "AllowedScopes": []
            },

or manage the fallback in the case of failure for second app ?
btw this approach will increases network thruputs even if also possible, :). thanks.

Hello, Mehdi!

Have you reviewed the Authentication documentation? You mentioned an authentication scenario that involves Multiple Authentication Schemes within a single route definition. Please ensure that all relevant authentication providers are correctly configured in the C# code.

Lastly, consider testing out this feature in Ocelot: Multiple Authentication Schemes.
