[OASIS Issue Tracker] Updated: (ODATA-301) Guidance around data authorization model and secure authenticated access to an OData Service
[ http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/ODATA-301?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Martin Zurmuehl updated ODATA-301:
----------------------------------


In addition to the proposal I added "MUST support basic authentication as specified in [RFC2617] over HTTPS" also to the conformance for "Interoperable Clients" in the spirit of the ticket. With this addition an interoperable client can interoperate with a service of intermediate conformance level (with regard to authentication).

> For interoperability it is highly desirable to define common minimum set of authentication methods, e.g. if a service requires authentication, it MUST accept basic authentication over HTTPS in addition to whatever else it chooses.
> For data authorization we give guidance whether the data model may depend on the authenticated user, only the data content. It puts a higher burden on clients if properties or entity sets appear in or disappear from the model depending on the authenticated user, requiring to always first interpret $metadata, or if only the data content depends on it, i.e. entities show up or not, nullable properties appear to be null or contain confidential information.
