Cron auth middleware
The cron auth middleware provides a simple cron authentication mechanism so that the Webtask cron daemon is able to make authenticated requests but third parties cannot.
Usage
To use the cron auth middleware leverages the fact that the Webtask cron daemon will invoke cron webtasks with an Authentication
header having a bearer token corresponding to the underlying webtask token of that cron job.
Set the
wt-node-dependencies
metadata property to the stringified JSON of an object having@webtask/middleware-compiler
and@webtask/cron-auth-middleware
properties whose values are the latest version of the @webtask/middleware-compiler module and this module, respectively.{"@webtask/middleware-compiler":"1.1.0","@webtask/cron-auth-middleware":"1.1.0"}
Set the
wt-compiler
metadata property on your webtask to@webtask/middleware-compiler
.Set (or add to) the
wt-middleware
metadata property of your webtask to contain a comma-separated list containing@webtask/cron-auth-middleware
.Schedule the webtask to run periodically and note that requests lacking an appropriate
Authorization
header will fail with a401
response.
