authorization
Authorization map for gateways. When a single username/password is used, it defines the authentication mechanism this server expects, and how this server will authenticate itself when establishing a connection to a discovered gateway. This will not be used for gateways explicitly listed in gateways and therefore have to be provided as part of the URL. With this authentication mode, either use the same credentials throughout the system or list every gateway explicitly on every server. If the tls configuration map specifies verify_and_map only provide the expected username. Here different certificates can be used, but they do have to map to the same username. The authorization map also allows for timeout which is honored but users and token configuration are not supported and will prevent the server from starting. The permissions block is ignored.
