Ditto Identity
The various identity configurations that you can use when initializing a Ditto instance.
OfflinePlayground: Develop peer-to-peer apps with no cloud connection. This mode offers no security and must only be used for development.
OnlineWithAuthentication: Run Ditto in secure production mode, logging on to Ditto Cloud or on on-premises authentication server. User permissions are centrally managed.
OnlinePlayground: Test a Ditto Cloud app without authentication ("Playground mode"). This mode offers no security and must only be used for development.
SharedKey: A mode where any device is trusted provided they know the secret key. This is a simplistic authentication model normally only suitable for private apps where users and devices are both trusted.
Manual: A manually-provided certificate identity. This accepts a base64-encoded bundle.
