Authenticating routes

Have you read the Contributing Guidelines on issues?

• I have read the Contributing Guidelines on issues.

Description

Suppose I am having authentication in place, how do I protect my navbar routes or markdown files routes?
I can't understand how to approach towards it in docusaurus.

Self-service

• I'd be willing to address this documentation request myself.

There is not a single way, it depends on what you want to do exactly

@slorber Thank you so much for pointing it out. I am surprised why it didn't come up in my issues search terms.

I think we can put this under deployment

@Josh-Cena would the need here be to document the methods of protecting docusaurus sites per slorber's comment?

[Josh-Cena]

Yep! It would mostly be copy&pasting his comment, maybe presenting it in a more organized way :)

[pizzaz93]

Would that be in this repository? Or is there a separate repo for documentation?

I'll try my hand at presentation and adding some more words :).

Hi! I'm a new contributor and was looking at possibly attempting this issue. I wanted to clarify what needs to be done for this to see if I think I can complete it (or if there's a different issue that would be better suited for a new contributor, I can look at that as well).

[slorber]

@ehuisinga This issue is about documenting strategies to authenticate a site or section of your site.

I have written possible solutions and their tradeoffs here, but didn't try them in practice:

This issue is about doing the R&D and POCs to prove that these things are possible and write down a step-by-step guide somewhere for the rest of the community. It's hard to help: you have to try building those things and report how it goes.

@slorber I've looked into it more and this seems maybe a little complicated for me to dive into Docusaurus with, so I think I'll pass on it for now. Thank you for the response though!
