Does LNDK require it's own macaroon or does it just pass along to LND?

[AndySchroder]

I'm a bit confused about the LNDK gRPC client authentication. It seems to have it's own SSL certificate, but it uses a macaroon from LND? Does LNDK require any authentication to do decode-offer and decode-invoice?

@AndySchroder sorry the delay.

1. yes, gRPC client needs to use the TLS certificate.
2. to use DecodeInvoice, you will need the TLS but you wouldn't need to pass macaroons
3. Elsewhere, you need to pass on the macaroons to be used to interact with your node

Regarding de CLI

1. decode-offer and decode-invoice actually does it inplace, does not go to the server, so it does not requires authentication.

reading out loud, yes, something to look into so we can have a standard
