Title: More
than a boolen in secureClientCommunication
Date Added:
10-Sep-2002
Document
Section: Interfaces/6.1
Description:
The
argument secureClientCommunications to getMarkup() seems to me to demand more
than a boolean. It would be nice (with some sort of extensible string) to
indicate what level of security is being used with the client, what kind of
network is being used, etc.
JSR168 defines (leveraging the Servlet
specification) this 2 pieces of information. For authentication type defines 4
constants: BASIC, CLIENT_CERT, DIGEST and FORM, modeled after authentication
mechanisms commonly used with HTTP.
the isSecure attribute is a boolean
indicating if the communication between the client and the consumer is secure or
not (i.e.: HTTPS). Note that a client-consumer communication can be
authenticated but not secure and vice versa. Also note that JSR168 explicitely
says that this information s between the client (user agent) and the
portal.
