[OPEN-ILS-DEV] Extending Authentication

[Jason Etheridge]

> That is certainly a related issue but is not directly covered by this proposal.  Initially I would expect this case to simply return a 'user not found' type error.  The authentication system will only answer the question "Is this person who they say they are?".  How the user account gets into the system (whether periodically or 'on-the-fly') will need to covered separately.

So authentication versus authorization (I remember having to squint at
the definitions for those).
