Difference between version 3 and version 2:

+ !Kepler and the Registry
+ Kepler has an AuthenticationManager feature that uses a notion of "authentication domains" to manage authentication for EarthGrid services (and, I believe, other authentication tasks yet TBD).
+ There's talk of using the registry to also store these authentication domains, but there exists some overlap with the service definitions and the authentication domain definition (endpoints, essentially).
+ \\
+ One approach would be to embed an authenticationDomain element within each Ecogrid service defined in the registry. This would tell Kepler exactly how (and where) to authenticate before using the methods that require authentication credentials. But it's somewhat redundant to have the authentication domain included for every service listed in the registry (not to mention super kepler-specific). There is a meeting scheduled for 01/16/2008 1 pm PST where more concrete decisions can be made about these authentication modifications.
