I’m not sure how you’re currently setting up your `rmf-web` stack, if you’re using the demos that we have, take a look at [rmf-web/packages/rmf-dashboard-framework/src/services/stub-authenticator.ts at main · open-rmf/rmf-web · GitHub](https://github.com/open-rmf/rmf-web/blob/main/packages/rmf-dashboard-framework/src/services/stub-authenticator.ts) and [rmf-web/packages/api-server/api\_server/default\_config.py at main · open-rmf/rmf-web · GitHub](https://github.com/open-rmf/rmf-web/blob/main/packages/api-server/api_server/default_config.py)

hello @harshp1509! I’m not sure how you’re currently setting up your `rmf-web` stack, if you’re using the demos that we have, take a look at [rmf-web/packages/rmf-dashboard-framework/src/services/stub-authenticator.ts at main · open-rmf/rmf-web · GitHub](https://github.com/open-rmf/rmf-web/blob/main/packages/rmf-dashboard-framework/src/services/stub-authenticator.ts) and [rmf-web/packages/api-server/api\_server/default\_config.py at main · open-rmf/rmf-web · GitHub](https://github.com/open-rmf/rmf-web/blob/main/packages/api-server/api_server/default_config.py)

For our demos we are using a hardcoded secret, which produces these hardcoded tokens, and can be used for access outside of `rmf-web`.

```auto
curl -H 'Accept: application/json' -H "Authorization: Bearer eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJzdWIiOiJzdHViIiwicHJlZmVycmVkX3VzZXJuYW1lIjoidXNlciIsImlhdCI6MTUxNjIzOTAyMiwiYXVkIjoicm1mX2FwaV9zZXJ2ZXIiLCJpc3MiOiJzdHViIiwiZXhwIjoyMDUxMjIyNDAwfQ.vK3n4FbshCykQ9BW49w_7AfqKgbN9j2R3-Qh-rIOt_g" http://localhost:8000/tasks

```

If you’re setting up a full deployment stack, you’ll need to use an authentication tool like `keycloak` to allow proper authentication and tokens, you can check out [GitHub - open-rmf/rmf\_deployment\_template: This repo provides a template to deploy RMF](https://github.com/open-rmf/rmf_deployment_template) for that
