Hi everyone,

During today's informal metadata meeting, we decided to pose the following question to the list:

What sort of authentication is needed for content acquisition? For content delivery?

We'd like to understand both what is expected for basic interoperability as well as for more advanced use cases.

The current assumptions in the metadata draft for basic interop are:
1) No authentication is needed for delivery
2) Basic username/password are needed for acquisition

Thoughts?

Thanks,
Matt
