i. Preface

This document describes how user and identity management information may be included in the protocol specifications for OGC Services. The use cases addressed will make reference to EO Earth Observation services, for example catalogue access EO Products Extension Package for ebRIM ISOTS 15000-3 Profile of CSW 2.0 [OGC 06-131], ordering Ordering Services for Earth Observation Products [OGC 06-141r2] and programming OpenGIS Sensor Planning Service Application Profile for EO Sensors [OGC 07-018r2]. The document was initially produced during the ESA HMA Heterogeneous Missions Accessibility project and refined during the FEDEO Federated Earth Observation Pilot. It was further refined in the ESA EODAIL and HMA-T projects. This document is not an OGC standard. This document describes how existing specifications from W3C and OASIS can be used in combination to pass identity information to OGC Web services. ii.
