Yes - really OCCI will not define authorization or anything AAA/IdM but merely expose a way, by extension, to point/discover to such systems at most. -----Original Message----- From: occi-wg-bounces@ogf.org [mailto:occi-wg-bounces@ogf.org] On Behalf Of Ralf Nyren Sent: Wednesday, October 06, 2010 5:08 PM To: Csom Gyula; occi-wg@ogf.org Subject: Re: [occi-wg] Renaming the "Link" base type Hi, Authorization will likely not make it to the first version of OCCI. Authentication will be available though. You are however free to implement "users" as a sub-type of Resource and then use ResourceLink to associate users with resources. regards, Ralf On Wed, 06 Oct 2010 17:01:11 +0200, Csom Gyula <csom@interface.hu> wrote:
Hi,
Do you plan to add authorization support to the protocol? That is will OCCI handle users and ownership information? Just because ownership means a "link" from a resource pointing to a user...

Hi,
It is easy to confuse the OCCI "Link" base type with HTTP "Link Header" and the general term of linking.
Therefore it was proposed during today's conf call to rename the base type "Link" to "ResourceLink". That way we let the name make clear what the Link is used for, i.e. linking Resources.
Would appreciate your comments. Deadline is on Friday.
regards, Ralf
