<a id="section_noAuth"></a>
Use the `NoAuth` authentication scheme when there's no authentication necessary to execute an endpoint. An endpoint using `NoAuth` doesn't have attached credentials.

## <a id="section_s2z_kyv_sfb"></a>SMD authType Attributes

<table><thead><tr><th>Attribute</th><th>Value</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>id</td><td>A unique ID. Use this id in your PMDs to reference this authentication scheme.</td></tr><tr><td>scheme</td><td><code>NoAuth</code> (case-sensitive)</td></tr></tbody></table><br/>

## <a id="section_pm4_myv_sfb"></a>Example

```
  "siteAuth" : {
    "authTypes" : [ 
      {
        "id" : "noAuth",
        "scheme" : "NoAuth"
      },
      {
        "id" : "sso",
        "scheme" : "SSO"
      }
    ]
  }
```

<b>Note:</b> The default authentication type is always `SSO`. To override `SSO` with the `NoAuth` authentication type, specify its `id` in the `authType` attribute of the endpoint in the PMD.
