Client authentication

You can authenticate your client with the Geosecure OAuth 2.0 Server through a JSON Web Token with asymmetric key. This follows an internet standard and is a very safe way to authenticate your client. It uses a key pair or certificate to identify your client. Although currently still supported we no longer recommend the use of client id and client secret, which will be phased out eventually.

The way you can or cannot authenticate your client is configured by a Geosecure administrator but you can view the configuration on the OAuth admin page: https://beta.oauth.vlaanderen.be/admin/OAuthClients.
