Hello, I am trying to implement a custom authenticator by adding a class that implements com.datahub.authentication.Authenticatorin the Metadataservice java process classpath. As I need to add this custom Authenticator to "Authentication Chain" by editing application.yml configuration file for the Metadata Service, instead of updating the application.yml file in Medataservice code, is there a way that I can pass the application.yml file as an argument to the java process which can load the configuration from the file that I have passed instead of the one from the code base?

So the only way to easily overwrite this application.yml is add it to the classpath for the java process (since we load it as a resource under

application.yml

. It's been on our team's backlog to make this process easier by providing a well-defined file path location to mount this file for easy overwrites

Thanks for the response John Joyce. For now, I am adding a application.yml file in to the classpath to load the custom authenticator that i have implemented.
