GrpcClientCredentials

Base class for client channel credentials.

Client credentials define the security mechanism used to establish a connection to the gRPC server. Unlike GrpcCallCredentials which operate at the application layer for per-call authentication, client credentials establish the transport layer security.

Types of Credentials

• GrpcInsecureClientCredentials: No transport security (plaintext)

• GrpcTlsClientCredentials: TLS/SSL transport security with optional mutual TLS (mTLS)

Client credentials can be combined with call credentials using the plus operator:

val credentials = GrpcTlsClientCredentials { ... } + BearerTokenCredentials(token)
