i feel the LDP page misses the point. it describes ways in which you can use, say, an Oracle database, to describe if certain credentials which the client sent are sufficient for a certain action or not. What they don't describe is how the client can actually send these credentials, and how the server can check their validity. Let's look at the basic use case first: Alice has a website, and Bob is allowed to edit it. No irrelevant things about 'Bob is within a 500m radius of a certain geo location' or 'Alice uses an Oracle database to run her website'. Imho that misses the point. There is a small note at the bottom of the LDP page saying "identity: WebID". That is what we should be looking at, i think: 1) how does Bob send his credentials 2) how does Alice's web server check them For this, i'm aware of the following options: - username/password (doesn't scale of course if Bob has many friends) - WebID (favourite of this CG!) - OpenID (sadly probably deprecated) - Persona (promising imho) - Dialback (same) - Salmon (specific for blogpost-comments, and probably deprecated by dialback?)
