Authentication and access

The Pismo platform supports two types of authentication: Basic authentication with client credentials and OpenID Connect for Servers.

• Basic authentication with client credentials (also known as S2S): This method is the most common among clients. For more information about basic authentication on the Pismo platform, refer to Basic authentication with client credentials.
• OpenID Connect for Servers: In this method, the clients will use a JWT (JSON Web Tokens) to perform the authentication. For more information about with OpenID Connect authentication on the Pismo platform, refer to Authentication with OpenID Connect.

If your access profile includes the Admin role, you can use Control Center to do the following:

• Manage access keys
• Manage OpenID configurations
• View API permission groups
