Authentication

Helix DAM supports two authentication types: SSH key authentication and password-based authentication.

SSH key authentication

SSH key authentication can be used when accessing repositories. This authentication type will always use a SSH key pair to authenticate an account. Helix DAM accounts can have multiple SSH keys, but a single SSH key is unique within a Helix DAM instance. The same key cannot be shared among accounts even if they are from different companies.

Note

If Helix DAM is set up with Helix authentication, adding an SSH key through the TeamHub UI automatically updates the pubkey table in the Helix Core Server schema.

Password-based authentication

Password-based authentication can be used when accessing Helix DAM data from repositories, APIs, or the user interface. Helix DAM can be configured to use the Helix supported password authentication method, see Setting up Helix authentication.
