Filter

Custom authentication filters can be applied to the server and the application when the default authentication settings are not sufficient. This type of authentication is referred to as Filter authentication. When Panopticon Streams is configured to use filter authentication, it means that the incoming requests have already been authenticated and authorized before reaching the server. Follow the steps below to configure filter authentication:

1.    Open the Streams.properties file in the AppData folder (c:\streamsserverdata).

2.    Enable authentication.type=FILTER in Streams.properties.

3.     Apply the following URL pattern to your own filter: /*

4.     Save the changes and restart the Tomcat.
