# Changing the auth method with Docker

How to change the Snyk Broker authentication method for an integration in a Docker installation

Each integration has an auth method set by default, with the exact method varying by service.

BitBucket Server and Data Center, for example, uses Basic Auth with a username and password in the `accept.json` file:

```json
{
  "private": [
    {
      ...,
      "auth": {
         "scheme": "basic",
         "username": "${BITBUCKET_USERNAME}",
         "password": "${BITBUCKET_PASSWORD}"
      }
    },
    ...
  ]
}
```

For Artifactory, the auth method is configured in the `.env` file by default:

```shell
# The URL to your artifactory
# If not using basic auth this will only be "<yourdomain.artifactory.com>/artifactory"
ARTIFACTORY_URL=<username>:<password>@<yourdomain.artifactory.com>/artifactory
```

For GitHub, the auth meth is part of the `origin` field in the `accept.json` file:

```json
{
  "private": [
    {
      ...,
      "origin": "https://${GITHUB_TOKEN}@${GITHUB_API}"
    },
    ...
  ]
}
```

You can override the authentication method. Valid values for `scheme` are `bearer`, `token`, and `basic`, which set the Authorization header to `Bearer`, `Token`, and `Basic` respectively. If a bearer token is preferred, the `accept.json` file can be configured as such:

```json
{
  "private": [
    {
      ...,
      "auth": {
        "scheme": "bearer",
        "token": "${BEARER_TOKEN}"
      }
    },
    ...
  ]
}
```

Note that you must set this for every individual object in the `private` array.

If `scheme` is `bearer` or `token`, you must provide a `token`, and if `scheme` is `basic`, you must provide a `username` and `password`.

This overrides any other configured authentication method, for example, setting the token in the `origin` field, or in the `.env` file.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.snyk.io/platform-administration/snyk-broker/classic-broker/install-and-configure-snyk-broker/advanced-configuration-for-snyk-broker-docker-installation/changing-the-auth-method-with-docker.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
