Ivo Ladage - van Doorn updated AMDATU-230:
------------------------------------------
Fix Version/s: (was: 0.2.1)
> Provide an alternative to oAuth for securing REST APIs
> ------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: AMDATU-230
> URL: http://jira.amdatu.org/jira/browse/AMDATU-230
> Project: Amdatu
> Issue Type: Roadmap Issue
> Components: Amdatu Auth
> Affects Versions: 0.1.0
> Reporter: Ivo Ladage - van Doorn
>
> Most REST APIs can be secured using oAuth Signed Requests, 2-legged or
> 3-legged oAuth. However, some services are that 'core' that they cannot or
> should not be secured with oAuth. The best example of such an APIs is the
> Consumer registry. If the REST API of this service was protected using oAuth
> Signed Requests, new consumers could only be added AFTER they have already
> been added. Huh? Exactly, that won't work.
> One could think of a security mechanism using amdatu node certificates or
> checking IP addresses to authenticate where a request is coming from.
