Basic authentication uses standard usernames and passwords to grant users access to the resources on your ServiceNow instance. OAuth 2.0 authentication uses OAuth tokens to grant users access to those resources. To configure basic authentication, refer to either [Configure a REST message with basic auth](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/api-reference/web-services/t_ConfigureRESTMsgBasicAuth.md) or [Enable basic authentication for outbound SOAP](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/api-reference/web-services/t_BasicAuthentication.md). To configure OAuth 2.0 authentication, refer to [Configure OAuth 2.0 authentication for the Anglepoint integration](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/it-asset-management/software-asset-management/configure-oauth-authentication-anglepoint-integration.md).\n\n-   **[Configure OAuth 2.0 authentication for the Anglepoint integration](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/it-asset-management/software-asset-management/configure-oauth-authentication-anglepoint-integration.md)**  \nConfigure OAuth 2.0 authentication to enable users to access Anglepoint integration resources through APIs using OAuth tokens.\n\n**Parent Topic:**[Creating a connection for the Anglepoint integration](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/it-asset-management/software-asset-management/creating-connection-anglepoint-elevate-platform.md)\n\n"}}
