DDSSEC11 — Normative IDL does not match documentation for Authentication::validate_remote_identity

Open Closed All
  • Key: DDSSEC11-22
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Kongsberg Geospatial ( Gilles Bessens)
  • Summary:

    In the normative IDL, validate_remote_identity's signature suggests it receives IdentityHandles for the initiator of and the replier to a handshake.
    This implies that this has been resolved by the middleware before calling Auth to initiate the sequence.
    In the specification document, however, the function instead receives IdentityHandles for the local and remote principal, moving the resolution to the plugin.
    The latter makes more sense, but to enforce this specification of the interface, the IDL has to be altered.
