Allowed Hosts

[yesoreyeram]

This is about the breaking change introduces in version 1.0.0 of the plugin.

Authentication & Allowed host URLs

If you are using any APIs/URLs that require authentication, You will now need to specify the list of allowed Host URLs in the config. This change is introduced to allow additional security to your endpoints.

To migrate your existing datasources, add allowed URLs/allowed Hosts in the datasource configuration section. Example: If you are using https://foo.com/some/path?id=123 which require authentication, you will need to add https://foo.com in the allowed hosts list.

Examples:

If your datasource is provisioned, then you have to add the following to your provisioning yaml file.

jsonData:
  allowedHosts:
    - https://foo.com

If the allowed hosts are not configured correctly, you will get Datasource is missing allowed hosts/URLs. Configure it in the datasource settings page. Datasource Name error when performing the query.

Hello, I'm new in this plugin,
Can you help me how did you pass user and password to your API?

[yesoreyeram]

In the datasoruce configuration section, you can specify username and password under auth/ basic auth section.

What if I wan to allow all hosts

[yesoreyeram]

All the hosts are allowed when there is no authentication specified. For security reasons, it is a best practice you need to specify allowed hosts.
