Affects
Teams configuring Lender route authorization.
What changed
Lender configures authentication with
PLUGIN_AUTH_ENABLED and PLUGIN_AUTH_HOST. AUTH_REQUIRED is not a Lender configuration variable and is no longer listed in the prerequisites or deployment checklist.
This is a documentation correction that aligns the guide with the implemented configuration surface. It does not announce a runtime release.
Impact
Classification: Review recommended. Remove reliance on
AUTH_REQUIRED from Lender deployment templates and runbooks.
What you need to do
1
Review Lender manifests and runbooks that set or validate
AUTH_REQUIRED.2
Configure
PLUGIN_AUTH_ENABLED and PLUGIN_AUTH_HOST for deployments that enable route authorization.3
Verify that your identity provider is reachable and calls send bearer tokens with the required subject and permissions.
