Identities and Security

The various identity configurations that you can use when initializing a Ditto instance.

• development: (Deprecated - use offlinePlayground instead) Develop peer-to-peer apps with no cloud connection. This mode offers no security and must only be used for development.
• offlinePlayground: Develop peer-to-peer apps with no cloud connection. This mode offers no security and must only be used for development.
• online: (Deprecated - use onlineWithAuthentication instead) Run Ditto in secure production mode, logging on to Ditto Cloud or on on-premises authentication server. User permissions are centrally managed.
• 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.
