Manage authentication

HERE IAM provides you with features to securely authenticate your identity to access HERE services and resources.

HERE IAM supports multiple features for authentication:

User authentication

When you log in to the HERE platform, HERE uses user based password authentication to access Here services and resources.

For more information, see Get started.

App authentication

HERE recommends using an app credential to access HERE services and resources.

IAM supports multiple app authentication types:

API key based authentication

HERE API keys provide simple and secure authentication for your client app. For more information, see API Keys.

OAuth 2.0 token based authentication

HERE IAM conforms to the OAuth 2.0 which is industry-standard protocol for the purpose of authorization. To learn more on how to create credentials to generate an OAuth 2.0 access token, see OAuth 2.0 tokens.

OIDC token based authentication for devices

OpenID Connect (OIDC) is built on top of OAuth 2.0 to add login and profile information for devices. For more information, see OIDC tokens.
