Authentication

Authentication settings for an upgraded REST provider are stored on the AUTHENTICATION node in the MapDrawerProviders configuration. The AUTHENTICATION node has one or more child Server nodes that define settings for specific GIS services.

These authentication methods are supported:

  • Named user: Set the Authentication Type attribute on the Server node to TOKEN. Use the Username and User Password attributes to specify the user credentials.
  • API keys: Set the Authentication Type attribute on the Server node to OAUTH. Use the Application Client ID and Application Client Secret attributes to specify the credentials.
  • Long-lived token: Use the Access Token attribute on the Server node.
