Java driver support JWT authentication

[sajeevpr]

Dear Team,
I was trying to enable authentication and do a test.

Would like to know whether java driver supports JWT authentication.

Thanks,
Sajeev

Hi Sajeev,

There is no support for JWT authentication. The driver uses the binary transport protocol VelocyStream instead of http, which handles authentication once per connection with a special request. Follow-up requests on the same connection don't need any further authentication information.

Authentication in the driver is automatically enabled when you set a user within your ArangoDB instance:
ArangoDB arango = ArangoDB.Builder().user(String).build().

Best,
Mark

Hi @sajeevpr,

Just following up. Was latest @mpv1989 message useful - or is there anything else you feel we can do in this ticket to support you?

Many thanks,
