Autobahn|Cpp Authentication

[David Chappelle]

I don't see any code for authentication in the cpp implementation. What are the plans here?

[David Chappelle]

I think I jumped on this too soon. The Cpp implementation is simply passed an already connected socket or (IStream/OStream). So authentication would happen at the layer above where the physical connection is made. So I guess my question is how would this authentication take place. The crossbar.io WAMP router has authentication capabilities. How would a Cpp component utilize them to authenticate itself?

The plan is to implement (at least) WAMP-CRA:

Not necessarily. With WAMP, you can do authentication at the transport
level (e.g. when doing TLS client certificate based auth. or cookies
when doing WebSocket) or at the WAMP level (e.g. using WAMP-CRA).

TLS Client Certs.
WebSocket/cookies
