Clear REST Authentication Settings

Demonstrates Rest.ClearAuth, which removes any authentication providers and credentials previously configured through the SetAuth* methods.

Background. Clearing authentication is useful when reusing a Rest object for a request that must be sent without credentials, or before switching to a different authentication method.

Note

This example is intended for running within a Chilkat.Js embedded JavaScript engine. All Chilkat JavaScript examples require Chilkat v11.4.0 or greater.

JavaScript

var success = false;

var rest = new CkRest();
var bTls = true;
var bAutoReconnect = true;
success = rest.Connect("example.com",443,bTls,bAutoReconnect);
if (success == false) {
    console.log(rest.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

//  Normally you would not hard-code secrets in source.  You should instead obtain them from an
//  interactive prompt, environment variable, or a secrets vault.
var username = "myUsername";
var password = "myPassword";
success = rest.SetAuthBasic(username,password);
if (success == false) {
    console.log(rest.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

//  ClearAuth removes any authentication providers and credentials previously configured through the
//  SetAuth* methods, for example before reusing the object for an unauthenticated request.
rest.ClearAuth();

console.log("Authentication cleared.");
