RemoteSign: {AUTH} command

The {AUTH} command presents some authorization credentials/token to the other computer. It is up to the receiving computer to validate the tokens

Syntax

{AUTH} type ␑ ID ␑ token

type - type of token

R = Registration token
S = Server token
W = Write permission. Authorizes data to be saved to permanent storage.

ID - identifying key (usually the unique ID of the RemoteSign presenting the credentials)
token - an auth token. If empty, it means no token has been provided for that type and the receiving side should interpret that as a request for a token to be issued.

Use the {AUTH?} command to request the presentation of a token via the {AUTH} command.

When a RemoteSign connects to a RemoteSign server as a client, it will present its server token.

Note: Generally one only needs to send an {AUTH} command once per connection session. The other side should store a valid token. Repeatedly sending invalid tokens won't provide any benefit. This is especially so when no token is present as a token request will likely involve some authorization gesture from someone at the other end.
