Open Issues

Need to define relevant schemes for each authentication category.

Authentication Discovery Mechanisms

Clients connecting to an OCCI service will need to know what authentication mechanisms are offered by the service provider. SHOULD a provider offer a means to enumerate the provided authentication mechanisms then the provider MUST list those mechanisms through the Query Interface (insert reference) as Categories. An example of how this can be implemented using the Query Interface is shown below.

1. Service provider defines a set of authentication mechanism Categories. How these Category's lifecyle is managed is provider-specific.

Category: authentication; scheme=''; title=''
Category: basic; scheme=''; title=''
Category: digest; scheme=''; title=''
Category: openid; scheme=''; title=''

2. Client queries for authentication mechanisms and receives a list of supported mechanisms in a form defined by the Query Interface specification.

GET /-/authentication

/-/basic
/-/digest
/-/oauth
/-/openid
