Subject: [wsrp-wsia] [I#104] WSRP recommends that portals not do user-mapping
Topic: user info Class: Editorial Title: WSRP recommends that portals not do user-mapping Document Section: 10.2 Description: The spec says "If user identity known by the back-end application is not the same as that authenticated by the Consumer, the entity SHOULD require the End-User to provide the necessary information...". This seems to make vendor extensions to WSRP that allow the consumer to handle user-mapping and transfer the needed credentials to the producer unrecommended. There is no reason for this, and some portals, including SAP's, currently have this feature. The SHOULD should be replaced with CAN, perhaps also mentioning the possibility of vendor extension.
