Device Authentication
This page describes the authentication methods you can use to start a session and how they are applied within your app and backend.
API Key
API key authentication is a secure way of authentication, commonly used for machine-to-machine communication.
Basic Credentials
Basic is a standard authentication method using a username and password.
It is not a secure method, as it requires the credentials to be set directly in the app. The same credentials can be used by a user to authenticate on the Platform directly.
Token URL
With token authentication, your app receives a link containing a predefined authorization token. This token needs to be generated on your backend through the server-side session initiation process and then passed into the app.
