Custom User Validation

Catalyst Authentication allows you to authorize and validate your end-users using a custom Basic I/O function on the event of a sign-up to your Catalyst application. You can write your own logic and process the credentials that the user provides through this function, and grant access to your application.

To know more about the component instance authentication_service used below, please refer to this section.

A sample code for a Custom User Validation function is given below.
