Authentication

A RESTful API should be stateless. This means that request authentication should not depend on cookies or sessions. Instead, each request should come with some authentication credentials.

Out-of-the-box, OroPlatform provides the following authentication mechanism:

• OAuth Authentication
• WSSE Authentication

Important

Please note that WSSE authentication is deprecated and will be removed in one of the future LTS releases. Use OAuth authentication instead.
