Computer Vision Read container - require authentication

Question

So i am running the Computer Vision Read in a local container. I can call the local API without providing any credentials. Is it possible to set the container up to require some form of authentication?

I know that I provide the credentials when I run the container, but If I want to host the container to call it from other machines, everyone with the url can call it.

Hello @Ali !

Welcome to Microsoft QnA!

Yes and anyone needs the Key !

Anyway

Azure Cognitive Services do not provide other forms of Authentication than the API

You can however host the API into API Management and then add authentication to that
