The MILK API has 2 ways of authenticating users.
- Internal - Users are registered with and log into the MILK API.
- External - Users are registered with and log into servers controlled by the API implementer.
Once you have let MILK know which method you will be using to authenticate your users, we'll set up your account and issue with the required credentials for your chosen method.
Selecting an Authentication Method
Internal Authentication might be the most appropriate in the following situations:
- An application that doesn't have user accounts, and has no plans to add them.
External Authentication would work the best in the following situation:
- An application already has an existing server based user account system.
