For the GSoC REST API project, I've been wondering about how authentication would work.
OAuth is a way to go if we want authenticated/signed requests. I have a few questions regarding that. - Will Mailman core become an OAuth provider, with Postorius/API being the consumers? - If the answer to the above is no, is the plan to support populer OAuth providers like Facebook/Twitter ? (If not, can you guys please explain how would the authentication protocol really work?) - Since Postorius is already using Mozilla Persona, can that also be used to provide authentication to API clients? - Am I over-thinking this? :) Thanks! _______________________________________________ Mailman-Developers mailing list Mailman-Developers@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-developers Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-developers%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-developers/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9
