31 # services is as follows.
33 # 1. biblios POSTs to the authenticate API with URL-encoded
34 # form parameters 'userid' and 'password'. If the credentials
35 # belong to a valid user with the 'editcatalogue' privilege,
36 # a session cookie is returned and a Koha session created. Otherwise, an
37 # appropriate error is returned.
38 # 2. For subsequent calls to the biblios APIs, the user agent
39 # should submit the same session cookie. If the cookie is
40 # not supplied or does not correspond to a valid session, the API
41 # will redirect to this authentication API.
42 # 3. The session cookie should not be (directly) sent back to the user's
43 # web browser, but instead should be stored and submitted by biblios.
