Authentication
GeminiDB supports token-based authentication.

The validity period of a token is 24 hours. If a token is required, the system caches the token to avoid frequent calling.
A token specifies temporary permissions in a computer system. During API authentication using a token, the token is added to a request to get permissions for calling the API.
If you want to use a token for authentication, you need to obtain the user's token and add X-Auth-Token to the request header of the service API to make an API call.
When you call an API to obtain a user token, set auth.scope in the request body to project.
{ "auth": { "identity": { "methods": [ "password" ], "password": { "user": { "name": "username", "password": "password", "domain": { "name": "domainname" } } } }, "scope": { "project": { "name": "xxxxxxxx" } } } }
After a token is obtained, add field X-Auth-Token to the request header to specify the token when other APIs are called. For example, if the token is ABCDEFJ...., add X-Auth-Token: ABCDEFJ.... to a request header as follows:
POST https://iam.ap-southeast-1.myhuaweicloud.com/v3/auth/projects Content-Type: application/json X-Auth-Token: ABCDEFJ....
