Hi, > I see no reason why a tool couldn't use a tool-specific account for queries like that. Because it prevents creating client only solutions and requests would need to be routed via proxy which would do the authentication. This would increase overall complexity. Another same kind of situation would be with tools like wikishootme which currently directly queries information from WQS in client side. Anyway, like Legokm, I would also take a reduced SLO + no auth required over having better uptime with authentication required.
