Learn TypeAuth’s authentication system. Explore token management, rate limiting, and access control features to secure your API endpoints effectively.
Authentication Profiles Authentication profiles are central to TypeAuth’s security model, defining how applications and their tokens handle authentication, rate limiting, and access control. These profiles act as reusable configuration templates that can be attached to multiple applications, ensuring consistent security policies across your API ecosystem. Key Benefits
Centralized Security: Define authentication rules once, apply everywhere Flexible Configuration: Support for both JWT and opaque tokens Rate Control: Fine-grained request rate limiting and token replenishment Token Management: Customizable token generation and expiration Policy Inheritance: All tokens inherit their application’s profile settings
Use Cases
API Products
Different tiers (Basic, Pro, Enterprise) Usage-based pricing Feature access control
Internal Services
Service-to-service authentication Department-specific access limits Development vs. Production settings
Customer APIs
Client credential management Usage quotas Customer-specific rate limits
When an authentication profile is attached to an application:
Rate Limiting
Token Configuration
Profile Management
