I do enjoy when I get to branch out and do things I've never done before.
We are getting deep into the planning stage of a new project that will
be a web service to be consumed by an outside agency to integrate their
data systems with ours.
We will want there to be security and authorization so that our system
has a reasonable assurance that the submitted data only comes from their
system. I'm pretty sure there are several ways to do this, but I have
never done anything like it before. So I'm hoping some of you can point
me to any good information on what we need to think about? How we might
do this. What the process and code might look like to implement.
Information along those lines.
A couple of ideas that have already been raised. We creating a
public|private key that they use to connect to our server as well as
standard user name|password authentication.
Thanks
Ian
