AMWA IS-10 NMOS Authorization Specification

Lint Status Render Status

What does it do?

  • Allows an API server to accept or reject requests depending on what a client is authorized to do

Why does it matter?

  • Security in the control plane is essential
    • Best practice is to limit what clients can do

How does it work?

  • Control client provides credentials and gets an access token
    • Sends token with API requests
  • Based on JSON Web Tokens and OAuth 2.0
  • Encryption is a prerequisite (see BCP-003-01)
