Accessing protected resources

All OSLC RM v1 and OSLC RM v2 programmatic requests are protected through OAuth 1.0a, and all user interface requests use the standard Rational® DOORS® Web Access username/password security framework.

OAuth is an open protocol to allow secure API authorization in a simple and standard method from desktop and web applications. You can find more information here: http://oauth.net/core/1.0a/

The http status code 401 message and error messages such as Inadequate OAuth consumer credentials indicate that a request to an OAuth protected resource (for example, /dwa/rm/discovery/catalog) has been refused for security reasons.

The OAuth specification that Rational DOORS Web Access follows can be located at http://oauth.net/core/1.0/. Rational DOORS Web Access accepts accept both OAuth 1 and OAuth 1a specification requests. Rational DOORS Web Access has not added any features to the OAuth specification.

It is not possible to access an OAuth protected resource without an OAuth token.
