[Go] How setup credentials like cookie in go Clients / Add auth endpoint which are not in openapi-spec file

[FlorianBorn]

Hello,

we have just created our first Go client using Kioata. Now we are facing the problem that the application the client is supposed to address expects authentication via a cookie + the authentication endpoint itself is not included in the OpenAPI spec file.

The auth cookie must be sent with every request.

I think regarding the auth cookie, we would need two things:

• The ability to equip the Client with a cookie jar
• An authentication method that allows calling the appropriate authentication endpoint and storing the received cookie in the cookie jar.

Can anyone help here, or know if this is currently even possible? Is there a way to implement the auth endpoint afterwards (or even beforehand)?

Thanks in advance

Hi @FlorianBorn
Thanks for using kiota and for reaching out.
If the cookie must be sent with every request, the best thing to do is to set the jar on the underlying client:

1. call the factory
2. set the cookie jar
3. pass that client to the request adapter

Doing so will circumvent the authentication infrastructure for kiota clients. So you can pass an anonymous authentication provider (assuming there's no other authentication scheme in play)
