Backend Integration
Server-side setup and request flow for Sentinel
Backend Integration
Sentinel is designed to be started from your backend. Your server owns the Sentinel API token, creates sessions, generates session tokens, and returns only the frontend-safe values needed by the browser.
The browser should never create Sentinel resources directly. It should receive a
sessionId, token, and orgCode from your backend, then pass them to the SDK.
Authentication
Generate and store your backend API token.
Integration Flow
Create a session, create a session token, and return frontend config.
Key Behaviors
Candidate reuse, policy overrides, and policy freeze behavior.
If you need exact request and response shapes for any step, follow the linked API Reference pages from each guide.
