User Agent Protection
User-agent validation works in the same way as IP address validation and is another security mechanism that can be used to prevent spam and abuse.
JavaScript Client SDK
- When using the JavaScript Client SDK, the user agent is always populated for you by the SDK.
- To use the optional security measure, simply provide the user agent of the client during validation.
- The user agent will be compared with what the JavaScript Client SDK detected during the start of the auth request.
Backend API
- When using the backend API to start an auth request, you must provide the user agent value to use this optional security feature,
- Then, during validation, pass the user agent of the client. The user agent will be compared with what was sent at the start of the auth request.
