Authentication

You can choose to use no authentication by selecting anonymous or you can use the simple build-in X-Auth authentication system. You have to exchange a username and a signature for a bearer token.

Get token

You can get a token through a username and it's signature. The signature consists out of an HMAC SHA-256 hash of the username that has been signed with the password and encoded in base-64.
