><P
> Authentication for user logins is handled internally no differently than for the typical phpGroupWare login via web browser. Server logins, added for XML-RPC and SOAP, are only slightly different. For either protocol, user and server login and authentication and subsequent requests are handled by their respective server apps, xmlrpc.php and soap.php. A server is identified by a custom HTTP header, without which a normal user login will be undertaken.
</P
><P
> A client or server sends the appropriate XML-RPC or SOAP packet containing host, user, and password information to the phpgw server. The server then assigns a sessionid and key, which is returned to the client in the appropriate format.
</P
><P
> Our current method for authenticating requests after successful login is via the Authorization: Basic HTTP header to be sent by the client or requesting server. The format of this header is a base64 encoding of the assigned sessionid and kp3 variables, seperated by a ':'.
</P
><P
> Further security may be obtained by using SSL on the client and server. In the future, we may encrypt/descrypt the data on either end, or at least provide this as an option. The sessionid and key variables will make this possible, and relatively secure.
