How to use authentication
When you launch Accurate.Video using a launch template you can choose to specify the authentication to use with query parameters.
Example: Launch Accurate.Video with authentication enabled
GET https://apps.accurate.video/launch/{application}
?launchTemplate=https://example.com/launch-template.json
&authMethod=oidc
&authOIDCAuthority=https://example.com/authority
&authOIDCClientId=5g3srbv1u6q6t97u8m7tcj3dd8
This will activate authentication using OpenID Connect. Before Accurate.Video (AV) loads the launch template the user will need to authenticate through the OpenID Provider (OP). AV will use the Access Token obtained from the OP when fetching the launch template and on any subsequent requests.
