We can have only two fields in login screen, username and password.
Username will include domain name(username@domain).
Default domain name can be "internal" if user didn't enter the domain
name as part of username then we can append the default value and
validate.
Note: We use username@domain as username when we connect through
<rest_api_url>/api
The idea is to *not* have the user type in the domain name, but rather
let him/her choose one, just like what happens in webadmin. We should
try and minimize typing as much as possible when it comes to mobile apps.
I think this was done on purpose for some reason to not provide a public api
for the rest api, but i could be wrong and don't remember the detail.
as the concepts of multi tenancy and multiple domains grow, providing the list
of domains is considered an issue,
Is it an issue specific to restapi? For we *do show* the list of domains in
webadmin login screen.
yes, but we may want to remove that going forward and not show the
domains, as most sites don't, which allows using more domains, without
exposing them to other users.
indeed, UI using public query for that, while in api each request has to be
authenticated,
as workaround, i suggest creating internal user for this purpose and using it
in the app
(internally) to fetch entities that should not require explicit authentication
from the
application PoV.
i assume rest api can use the public queries as well if we go that way?
and most systems today require user to provide their full user/domain (well,
usually in the form of their email address).

Hi,
We are trying to develop a simple android app to monitor and manage
gluster clusters by consuming the restapi exposed by engine. The
first screen is the login screen, which is similar to the webadmin
login screen. Here, we want to populate the combo box of "domains" by
fetching it from the restapi. However, the domains api cannot be
invoked without authentication! So we have a sort of a
chicken-and-egg problem.
Any suggestions on how to tackle this? I feel the "domains" api
should be "public", in the sense it should not expect authentication.
Regards,
Shireesh
