Multiple App ID and App Code pair management in self-hosted CLE
Multiple App ID and App Code Pair Management in Self-Hosted CLE
===============================================================
Summary
-------
This article explains how App IDs and App Codes are used in a self-hosted Custom Location Extension (CLE) environment and how multiple App ID/App Code pairs can be used to separate and manage access to different layers. [KB0016348 | PDF]
Background
----------
In HERE-hosted solutions, App IDs and App Codes are used for:
Authentication
Authorization
Usage accounting
For self-hosted CLE deployments, these security mechanisms are not provided by the software. Customers are responsible for integrating CLE into their own authentication and access management infrastructure. [KB0016348 | PDF]
Although self-hosted CLE does not enforce authentication through App IDs and App Codes, CLE uses the App ID to separate data belonging to different accounts. [KB0016348 | PDF]

Creating App IDs for Self-Hosted CLE
------------------------------------
When configuring a self-hosted CLE environment:
App IDs should not be omitted.
App IDs are used to logically separate layer ownership and associated data.
It is recommended to use App IDs that:
+ Are between 2 and 20 characters long.
+ Contain only alphanumeric characters.
+ Start with a letter. [KB0016348 | PDF]
### Example App IDs
1 customerA
2 fleetops01
3 testaccount
Managing Layer Access with Multiple App IDs
-------------------------------------------
Different App ID/App Code pairs can be used when uploading layers.
Using separate credentials provides several benefits:
Separation of customer data
Isolation of administrative responsibilities
* Organization of layers by customer, department, project, or use case
Each uploaded layer is associated with the App ID used during the upload process. [KB0016348 | PDF]
Accessing the CLE Administration Portal
---------------------------------------
To manage an existing layer in the CLE Administration GUI:
1. Sign in using the same App ID/App Code pair that was used when uploading the layer.
2. The portal displays the layers associated with that App ID.
3. Any modifications to the layer must be performed using the corresponding credentials. [KB0016348 | PDF]

Important Notes
---------------
> Self-hosted CLE does not provide a built-in authentication or authorization mechanism. Customers should integrate CLE with their own security infrastructure to manage user authentication and access control.
