Overview

By saying GCube-Enabled geo-services we identify all services involved in an SDI that understand and exploit gcube authorization framework. While dealing with these services, authentication and authorization of http(s) requests rely on the presence of the gcube-token just as like as any other gCube Service, relieving users and applications from dealing with :

  • non standard authentication APIs
  • specific instance credentials use
