authentication (provider) stateless rest api #80

Closed f1-outsourcing closed 3 months ago

f1-outsourcing commented 3 months ago

@danielgrigore Hi Daniel,

I have sort of something that authenticates with an external ldap. First thing I am noticing is that every request is authenticating against ldap. I don't think this is currently an issue. But I was wondering if this is the default when implementing these authentication providers. I am unfamiliar with this caldav / dav and just read this somewhere about stateful and stateless rest apis, and was wondering what is the best practice. Should I try and add some session cookie, or is this ignored by many caldav clients?

Can you advice in any way on this?

The CalDAV protocol is an extension of WebDAV protocol built on top of HTTP which is stateless. Most probably the cookie will be ignored by the CalDAV clients.
