Set kestra.tasks.sdk.authentication.username and kestra.tasks.sdk.authentication.password for HTTP basic authentication
Set kestra.tasks.sdk.authentication.url to also default the Kestra API endpoint (see kestraUrl above) The Enterprise edition also provides setting a default configuration at the Namespace or Tenant level by an administrator. Set to false to also opt out of the default URL.

kestraUrl string

Override Kestra API endpoint

When null, falls back to the url configured alongside the default SDK authentication (Namespace or Tenant level, Enterprise edition), then renders {{ kestra.url }} from configuration; if still empty, defaults to http://localhost: 8080. Trailing slashes are stripped before use.
