How does WebSocket Authorization and Authentication works?

[dev1644]

Hi there,
I want to ask about WebSocket authentication and authorization APIs i.e. server.auth and server.sign.
How do they work and what's the flow?
According to the docs, I have supplied an endpoint that takes the token, verifies and returns the user Id.
But the authentication is not working and I want to know about server.sign too.

Hi qyvlik, I have already done the connection to WebSocket through Ngnix and I am able to call some of the APIs like Market and Deal. Wait let me describe the problem again, Open the wiki of WebSocket Protocol at viaBTC, you will see the list of APIs/Endpoints there some of them will require authentication before invoking them like order.query etc.

I want to know how to authenticate through WebSocket, at the wiki they have said to use server.auth and server.sign of System API to authenticate. I am trying them and getting no results.

Can you add me on Skype? I can elaborate about my problem more over a chat.

Hi @dev1644, I have not Skype. Someone met same problem, check here order.subscribe and asset.subscribe not worked even if authenticated .

So, the WS APIs are broken? So do you have any other means of communication like telegram, facebook etc?

@dev1644, I haven't tried this before, I may not be able to offer substantial help.

@qyvlik Ok I will try to solve this. I have to ask one more thing about the server should I make another issue or ask in this one?

New a issue maybe better.

I too am stuck on the authorization flow of websocket. Would be awesome if somebody could prove a simple sample of what the auth and sign urls are supposed to do, or a simple configuration example.
