Token-Based Authentication

Important: This feature requires the Token-Based Authentication feature which must be purchased separately. Contact your CDN account manager to activate this feature.

This feature determines whether Token-Based Authentication will be applied to a request. If Token-Based Authentication is enabled, then only requests that provide an encrypted token and comply to the requirements specified by that token will be honored.

Note: The encryption key that will be used to encrypt and decrypt token values is determined by the Primary Key and the Backup Key options on the Token Auth page. Keep in mind that encryption keys are platform-specific.

Value Result
Enabled Protects the requested content with Token-Based Authentication. Only requests from clients that provide a valid token and meet its requirements will be honored. FTP transactions are excluded from Token-Based Authentication.
Disabled Restores the default behavior. The default behavior is to allow your Token-Based Authentication configuration to determine whether a request will be secured.

Default Behavior: Disabled.
