Token Auth

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

Category: Access

Purpose: Determines whether Token-Based Authentication will be applied to a request.

Key information:

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.
Token values will be encrypted and decrypted using the encryption key(s) defined by the Primary Key and the Backup Key options on the Token Auth page. These encryption keys are platform-specific.
This feature takes precedence over most features with the exception of the URL Rewrite feature.

Configure this feature by setting the Enabled option to one of the following values:

Enabled	Result
Yes	Protects the requested content with Token-Based Authentication. Only requests from clients that provide a valid token and meet its requirements will be honored. SFTP transactions are excluded from Token-Based Authentication.
No	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.
