Authenticate front-ends
Preliminary list of possible front-end methods to authenticate users.
- For now https://obs.sugarlabs.org requires Basic HTTP Auth.
- CAS, the most common method, with a requirement to provide login/password, is useful for people who are not arriving from a Sugar Shell instance (and so, Sugar's certificate-based method does not work implicitly for them), and for casual visitors or those wishing to avoid the technical work of taking care of user side certificates.
- Users certificates are useful for people who need to be authenticated from a Sugar Shell where Sugar might perform some authentication routines under the hood.
- OpenID authentication.
Authenticate back-end
