Instance Property

cookieAuthentication

Request Tor to bind a cookie-authenticated control port.

var cookieAuthentication: Bool

Discussion

Maps to torrc CookieAuthentication (tor.1.txt). Not normally needed for embedded deployments: swift-tor uses tor_main_configuration_setup_control_socket() to obtain a pre-authenticated control socket, which bypasses cookie/password auth entirely. Set this only when exposing an external control port over TCP.

Defaults to false. See control-spec.txt §3.5 for the cookie authentication handshake.
