Welcome to the Karate Store, a e-commerce platform built using Gitlab as our CI/CD pipeline. In this article, we will dive into the world of user authentication and sign-in process.
User authentication is the process by which a user authenticates themselves with an application or service. This is typically done using a username and password combination or other forms of identification. In our Karate Store case, we use OAuth 2.0 for authentication purposes.
In our case, users can sign in to the store by entering their email address and password. The application will then verify the user's credentials with our database using a secure token exchange protocol (e.g., JWT). If everything checks out, the user is redirected to the dashboard where they can view their order history, wishlist, or other relevant information.
User authentication requires proper security measures to prevent unauthorized access. In our case, we use HTTPS encryption to ensure that data transmitted between the client and server is protected from eavesdropping and tampering. We also implement rate limiting and IP blocking to prevent brute-force attacks.
