Internet-Draft HTTP Authentication Scheme Registrations February 2014
1. Introduction
This document registers Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP)
authentication schemes which have been defined in RFCs before the
IANA HTTP Authentication Scheme Registry was established.
2. Security Considerations
There are no security considerations related to the registration
itself.
Security considerations applicable to the individual authentication
schemes ought to be discussed in the specifications that define them.
3. IANA Considerations
The table below provides registrations of HTTP authentication schemes
to be added to the IANA HTTP Authentication Scheme registry at
<http://www.iana.org/assignments/http-authschemes> (see Section 5.1
of [draft-ietf-httpbis-p7-auth]).
+----------------+------------+-------------------------------------+
| Authentication | Reference | Notes |
| Scheme Name | | |
+----------------+------------+-------------------------------------+
| Basic | [RFC2617], | |
| | Section 2 | |
| Bearer | [RFC6750] | |
| Digest | [RFC2617], | |
| | Section 3 | |
| Negotiate | [RFC4559], | This authentication scheme violates |
| | Section 3 | both HTTP semantics (being |
| | | connection-oriented) and syntax |
| | | (use of syntax incompatible with |
| | | the WWW-Authenticate and |
| | | Authorization header field syntax). |
| OAuth | [RFC5849], | |
| | Section | |
| | 3.5.1 | |
