Re: REST web service APIs

Sound like we're pretty much on the same page, Todd. The completion of a
successful authentication (testing to ensure that the user is the
individual who they say they are) might generate a "token" that can be
passed back and forth between web-service client and web-service provider
during the course of a "session", and also be cross-referenced back to the
user ID, which then provides a basis for testing "authority".

I am talking about what happens *AFTER* user authentication. The
successful authentication gets you the token. All requests after that
check that token.

Of course there is a difference between authentication and authorization.
You can do authorization the same way. Check the authority on each
authenticated request and send back the proper HTTP response code.

Thanks,
Todd
