Authentication

Provider credentials

Set provider specific credentials as environment variables. The gateway injects these when proxying requests to providers.

Example for OpenAI:

export OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-your-key

The gateway can issue its own API keys with scoped access. For first time setup, you can use bootstrap keys for the admin API.

export ADMIN_BOOTSTRAP_KEY="change-me"
export ADMIN_BOOTSTRAP_READ_ONLY_KEY="change-me"
export ADMIN_BOOTSTRAP_ENABLED=true

Bootstrap keys are only honored while the API key store is empty.
