Description

Section Number

"MDPWS Concurrent Consumer Connections" from PR #518

Priority

  • Medium: Significant issue or clarification. Requires discussion, but should not lead to long debate.

Issue

Certificates provided by the consumer (may) provide a way to uniquely identify consumers for the purpose of limiting the number of concurrent connections, but we need to wait for details from the security working group.

Proposed Change

Specify how client credentials can be used to identify consumers when limiting concurrent consumer connections based on the findings from the security working group.

Research direction

Review the “MDPWS Concurrent Consumer Connections” section from PR #518 and the security working group's certificate findings at wg-certificates. Determine how consumer-provided client credentials can identify consumers for concurrent-connection limits, then update the specification with that behavior and its limits.
