@brief disable authentication for requests via UNIX domain sockets --server.authentication-unix-sockets value

Setting value to false will turn off authentication on the server side for requests coming in via UNIX domain sockets. With this setting, clients located on the same host as the ArangoDB server can use UNIX domain sockets to connect to the server without authentication. Requests coming in by other means (e.g. TCP/IP) are not affected by this option.

The default value is true.

Note: this option is only available on platforms that support UNIX domain sockets.
