WebProxy agent should identify itself with admin WebID
------------------------------------------------------
Key: CLEREZZA-490
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLEREZZA-490
Project: Clerezza
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Henry Story
The WebProxy makes requests to other servers which may be other WebID enabled
servers that may request the identity of the user. What identity should the
server use if it needs to identity itself?
Initially at least, and for sake of simplicity, I think that agent should be
the administrator - ie /user/admin/profile#me . The public key should be the
one with which the SSL session is started. That key will be CA signed usually.
It will be easy to use that certificate+private key to build a self signed
certificate for WebID authentication, on WebProxy startup. The public key
should then be added to the admin user's profile, (and removed when that
profile is changed).
This should also reduce certain number of exceptions being thrown when the
server connects to itself via ssl. In fact when it does connect to itself, the
connection should be a non encrypted ssl connection.
