Security Configuration

Authentication

MariaDB AI RAG implements JWT-based authentication. Configure the following parameters in your .env file:

SECRET_KEY=your_secure_random_string
ACCESS_TOKEN_EXPIRE_MINUTES=60

For production environments, it is strongly recommended to use a properly generated secure random string for the SECRET_KEY.

API Key Management

External service API keys should be securely stored in the .env file. In production environments, consider using a secure vault solution or environment variable management system.
