| Re: [platform-update-dev] Role Based Updates |
Ok, I started some code (kind of crappy now but... :)
It seems we will have to leave to the LoginModule implementer the
responsibility to authenticate on a server.
On easy way , but not real 'user' oriented, is to use SSL with client
authentication. We do not authenticate the user, but the 'machine' but that
is easy to implement both on the eclipse side as well as for 'plugin'
provider
This then means one machine==one user
Also, I was wondering, should we add code to 'import' trusted cert if we
connect to an HTTPS site to retrieve the site.xml ?
How many of us need that ?
