What problem does it solve?

This Skill simplifies the integration and configuration of the Apache APISIX wolf-rbac plugin, enabling robust Role-Based Access Control for your APIs.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Centralized RBAC: Implement fine-grained access control across multiple applications without modifying backend services.
  • Authentication & Authorization: Manages user login, token generation, and permission checks based on URL and HTTP methods.
  • Use Case: Secure a set of microservices by ensuring only authenticated users with specific roles can access certain API endpoints, using a centralized Wolf RBAC server for all checks.

Quick Start

Configure the wolf-rbac plugin for a new consumer named 'my_app_consumer' with the Wolf RBAC server URL 'http://localhost:12180' and application ID 'my_app'.
