Authentication ​

OmniLux uses bearer tokens for authenticated API requests.

Login ​

http
POST /api/auth/login
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "username": "your-username",
  "password": "your-password"
}
bash
curl -sS \
  -X POST \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  --data @- \
  "http://your-server:4000/api/auth/login" <<'EOF'
{
  "username": "your-username",
  "password": "your-password"
}
EOF

Response:

json
{
  "token": "eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIs...",
  "user": {
    "id": 1,
    "username": "your-username",
    "role": "user"
  }
}

Using tokens ​

Send the token in the Authorization header:

http
Authorization: Bearer <token>

Role-aware access ​

Some endpoints require elevated privileges. When a signed-in user lacks access, the server returns 403 Forbidden.

Security notes ​

  • Treat bearer tokens like passwords.
  • Use HTTPS whenever the API is reachable beyond your local network.
  • Do not paste real tokens into terminal history, screenshots, bug reports, or shared docs.

This public docs page intentionally documents only the standard bearer-token flow.
