Ignasi Barrera updated JCLOUDS-223:
-----------------------------------
Component/s: jclouds-labs
> Authentication token should be cached and reused when authenticating with
> Abiquo
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: JCLOUDS-223
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCLOUDS-223
> Project: jclouds
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: jclouds-labs
> Affects Versions: 1.6.1
> Reporter: Ignasi Barrera
> Assignee: Ignasi Barrera
> Labels: abiquo
> Fix For: 1.7.0
>
>
> Currently there are two ways to authenticate against the Abiquo API:
> * Using Basic Authentication.
> * Using an authentication token.
> The first one can be used to perform any request to the Abiquo API, but it is
> not the recommended way to interact with it. Instead, a better way to d that
> is to use basic auth to perform a login request and get an authentication
> token, and then use that token in the subsequent requests to the API.
> Currently jclouds supports authenticating with the token, but the context
> must be created with it and it is not automatically obtained. This should be
> an automatic and transparent process, similar to the OpenStack authentication
> module [1].
