Manage credentials for authenticating and set permissions for users or employees that use the Vuforia Engine authoring tools.
Client credentials can be created, updated, listed, and deleted using the Credentials tab on the Vuforia Engine Developer Portal or via a REST API.
Create OAuth2 Client Credentials
Client credentials consist of a client_id
and client_secret
key pair and associated scopes and are typically used in applications and backends to be exchanged for a JWT Token.
Learn more about scopes and the maximum number of Client Credentials you are allowed per account in Web API Authentication.
The client credentials can be used:
- To authenticate the Area Target Capture API.
- To authenticate Model Target Web API.
- As login credentials in the Area Target Generator.
- As login credentials in the Model Target Generator.
Credentials tab interface
Log in to the Engine Developer Portal and open the Credentials tab to view, create, update, and delete your OAuth2 client credentials.
The main page lists client credentials associated with your Vuforia Developer Account.
- To create new client credentials, click Create new credentials.
- Give your credential pair a unique and descriptive name and assign the scopes. See OAuth2 Scopes for details on the available scopes. The credential name will not be the same as the Client ID.
- Click Create. Then Download or Copy the Client ID and Client Secret. The Secret will not be shown again!
Once created, you can make further edits to manage the scopes associated to client credentials from the list. This allows adding and revoking permissions to existing applications that are using the credentials.
To delete a credential, Click the bin icon. Type Yes to confirm deletion. This action cannot be undone.
