+```javascript
+// AAD

+    clientId: '...',
+    aadAppId: '...',

+}
+```
+
+```javascript
+// Anonymous
+authOptions: {
+    authType: AuthenticationType.anonymous,
+    clientId: '...',
+    getToken: (resolve, reject) => {
+        // URL to your authentication service that retrieves an Azure Active Directory Token.
+        var tokenServiceUrl = "https://example.com/api/GetAzureMapsToken";
