By using [osmwww:user/new?referer=%2F this form] you can choose an '''OSM username''' and an '''OSM password'''both of which you will use below.44 You are recommended to [osmwww:user/new?referer=%2F create an OSM user account]. By using [osmwww:user/new?referer=%2F this form] you can choose an **OSM username** and an **OSM password** both of which you will use below. 45 45 46 46 === Basic authentication === 47 48 47 Basic authentication is the basic mechanism to authenticate yourself at the OSM server. 49 48 50 49 Here's a screenshot of the preferences panel for basic authentication: 51 50 52 [[Image(basic-authentication. png)]]51 [[Image(basic-authentication.2.png,link=)]] 53 52 54 53 To use Basic Authentication 55 54 56 1. Go to the tab '''Authentication''' in the Connection Preferences57 1. Select the authentication method '''Basic authentication'''55 1. Go to the register **OSM Server** in Preferences 56 1. Select the authentication method **Basic authentication** 58 57 1. Enter your OSM username and your OSM password 59 58 60 === OAuth based authentication ===61 [http ://oauth.net/ OAuth] is an open protocol to allow secure API authorization in a simple and standard method from desktop and web applications. The OSM server supports OAuthin addition to basic authentication.59 === OAuth 2.0 based authentication ===#oauth2 60 [https://oauth.net/2 OAuth 2.0] is an open protocol to allow secure API authorization in a simple and standard method from desktop and web applications. The OSM server supports OAuth 2.0 in addition to basic authentication. 62 61 63 62 OAuth has two major advantages over basic authentication: 64 63 1. Your OSM password doesn't have to be saved in clear text in the JOSM preferences file. 65 1. Your OSM password has to be transferred encrypted '''only once'''over the Internet, in contrast to basic authentication where your OSM password is transferred unencrypted as part of every request sent from JOSM to the OSM server.64 1. Your OSM password has to be transferred encrypted **only once** over the Internet, in contrast to basic authentication where your OSM password is transferred unencrypted as part of every request sent from JOSM to the OSM server. 66 65 67 Information about the use of OAuth is [wiki:/Help/Dialog/OAuthAuthorisationWizard here] 66 OAuth 2.0 uses [wikitr:RemoteControl Remote Control] to receive the token from the OAuth server. If Remote Control is disabled in preferences (default setting) it is temporally enabled to receive the token and then disabled again. 67 **Note**: If you have issues authenticating, you can disable remote control in other running instances of JOSM and disable ''then'' re-enable it in the JOSM instance you are trying to authenticate. 68 68 69 69 Once initialized the access token is represented with the following options: 70 70 71 [[Image(oauth- authentication.png,500)]]71 [[Image(oauth-2-authentication.png,500,link=)]] 72 72 73 73 * Deselect the checkbox **Save to preferences** if you don't want to save the Access Token in the JOSM preferences. If you don't save it the Access Token will be lost when you close JOSM. If you later startup JOSM again you will have to retrieve a new Access Token to work with OAuth based authentication again. 74 * Click on **Test Access Token** to submit a test request with the token to the OSM server. JOSM will analyse whether this token is authorized to access the OSM server. 75 * Click on **New Access Token** to generate a new Access Token. 76 * Selecting the checkbox "Display advanced OAuth parameters" to get the [wiki:Help/Dialog/OAuthAuthorisationWizard#AdvancedOAuthparameters advanced OAuth parameters] displayed. 77 78 At the bottom there are settings for new osm account messages and [wiki:Help/Dialog/Notes Notes]. 79 80 == Proxy Settings == #ProxySettings 81 JOSM communicates with the OSM server using the Hypertext Transfer Protocol ([https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Http HTTP]). If required it can relay its requests through a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Http_proxy HTTP proxy] or a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SOCKS SOCKS proxy]. 82 83 1. Go to the tab '''Proxy settings''' in the Connection Preferences 84 1. Select one of the available options and enter additional configuration parameters 85 1. Save the preferences 86 87 [[Image(proxy-settings.png,500)]] 74 * Click on **Test Access Token** to submit a test request with the token to the OSM server. JOSM will analyze whether this token is authorized to access the OSM server. 75 * Click on **Remove token** to remove the current token. The `Authorise now` button will reappear. 76 * Selecting the checkbox "Display Advanced OAuth Parameters" to get the [wikitr:/Help/Dialog/OAuthAuthorisationWizard#AdvancedOAuthparameters advanced OAuth parameters] displayed. 88 77 89 78 90 === Using the standard system proxy === 91 If you always want to use the proxy defined as standard proxy on your computer you have to start up JOSM with a special command. The command line has to include the parameter {{{-Djava.net.useSystemProxies=true}}}, for instance 79 == New OSM account messages and max age of closed OSM Notes == 80 === New OSM account messages === 81 JOSM, by default, periodically checks for unread OSM account messages. Unchecking ''**Periodically check for new messages**'' will disable the check (''advanced preference'': `message.notifier.enabled`). Below the checkbox the interval in minutes can be set (''advanced preference'': `message.notifier.interval`). The default value is `5` minutes. 92 82 93 {{{java -Djava.net.useSystemProxies=true -jar josm.jar}}} 83 === Max age of closed OSM Notes ===#OSMNotes 84 The maximum age in days of closed [wikitr:/Help/Dialog/Notes OSM Notes] can be set (''advanced preference'': `osm.notes.daysClosed`). The default value is `7` days. See [wikitr:/Help/Dialog/Notes#AdvancedPreferences Advanced preferences for notes] for details. 94 85 95 === Using the manually configured proxy === 96 If there is a need for personal authentication for your proxy, remember to include the NT-domain with your username, e.g. ''domain\username''. This issue is due to proxy implementation in java.net.HttpURLConnection. 86 87 == Overpass server ==#OverpassServer 88 ''**([wikitr:/Help/ExpertMode Expert mode] only)**'' \\ 89 Configure the Overpass API instance used for downloading OSM data (for instance in [wikitr:/Help/Action/Download#DownloadfromOverpassAPI Download from Overpass API]) (''advanced preference'': `download.overpass.server`). See [osmwiki:Overpass_API#Public_Overpass_API_instances for a list of servers]. \\ 90 With a checked ''**Use Overpass server for object downloads**'' the overpass server is used for all actions which request to download specified objects like [wikitr:/Help/Action/DownloadObject Download Object], [wikitr:/Help/Action/DownloadParentWaysAndRelation Download parent ways/relations …] or downloading (incomplete) members of relations (''advanced preference'': `download.overpass.for-multi-fetch`). 97 91 98 92 ---- 99 Back to [wiki:/Help/Action/Preferences Preferences][[Br]] 100 Back to [wiki:Help Main Help] 93 Back to [wikitr:/Help/Action/Preferences Preferences] \\ 94 Back to [wikitr:/Help/Menu/Edit Edit Menu] \\ 95 Back to [wikitr:/Help/Menu Main Menu] \\ 96 Back to [wikitr:/Help Main Help]
