Authentication

This module provides local authentication in Clay with a username and password and allows for easy configuration of Oauth for authentication with third-party providers. Here's a list of the supported providers:

• Google
• Twitter
• Slack
• Cognito
• LDAP

To get started editing in Clay, create a user account. The easiest way to do this is to create a user.yml file that looks like this:

_users:
  - # Google User
    username: <your full email address>
    provider: google
    auth: admin
  - # Local User
    username: myuser
    password: mypassword
    provider: local
    auth: admin

And import the configuration using claycli:

cat user.yml | clay import -k <local_api_key> -y localhost
