Subject: [dsml] SOAP Header and Authentication
Per our discussion in this week conference call, this is
the write up. SOAP Header. I agree with the revision that Christine did ( SOAP Authentication I would like to add just a few sentences from draft 8 to
include the reason for HTTP 1.1 authentication and some words about SOAP
security. The revised paragraph: Authentication in this binding is dependent upon the transport that is used with
SOAP. At the present time, the SOAP specification does not define authentication
mechanisms. A few SOAP Security
proposals have been submitted for consideration. In the future, once a SOAP Security
standard emerges, the DSML working group will revisit and decide whether the
standard should be adopted. Today, in the absence of a SOAP
Security standard, the DSML working group sets a guideline for SOAP
authentication over HTTP. When using HTTP 1.1 the authentication information is
transferred in accordance with RFC 2617 which covers Basic and Digest forms. It
is also recommended that TLS 1.0 (RFC 2246) be used in particular with the
Basic form of authentication. Thanks. --andy |
