= Configuring Endpoint Authentication Mechanisms
Configure Hot Rod and REST connectors with SASL or HTTP authentication
mechanisms to authenticate with clients.

{brandname} servers require user authentication to access the
command line interface (CLI) and console as well as the Hot Rod and REST
endpoints. {brandname} servers also automatically configure authentication
mechanisms based on the security realms that you define.
