Hi Gregg,

I agree that sample apps have to be maintained, so yes they should be fixed, 
when they are discovered to be broken.

But (unfortunately) the small handful of devs working on security features 
cannot maintain all the sample apps.

So the best course IMO is to refer to the examples we’ve provided, update the 
.json files, re-encode the .dat files using json2cbor (see wiki) and try to get 
the samples working.  If that fails, and appears to be due to security issue 
(e.g. “Access Denied” when it should be granted), then a P3 bug should be 
filed, and labeled “security”, and assigned to Randeep Singh (security 
maintainer) for dispositioning.

In order to ensure the bug has a better chance of getting looked at, the two 
log files (client.log and server.log) from a debug build should also be 
attached to the JIRA ticket.

Thanks,
Nathan

Hi Omar, Mats,



...

thanks for the detailed explanation.  but the fact remains: the sample code is 
broken.  it should be fixed or removed, imho.
