XMLRPC Protocol: getchallenge
From Dreamwidth Notes
getchallengeChallenge/Response
Description
Generate a one-time, quick expiration challenge to be used in challenge/response authentication methods.
Arguments
None
Return Values
- auth_scheme string
- You can ignore this for now. By default this is the highest version of our authentication schemes, if in the future if we implement other auth schemes or change the default. In that case we'd add a new capabilities exchange: Your client could say, "I know c0 and c1", and our server would then say, "Use c1, it's the best."
- challenge string
- An opaque cookie to generate a hashed response from.
- expire_time integer
- The expiration time of the challenge, as measured in seconds since the Unix epoch.
- server_time integer
- The server time when the challenge was generated, as measured in seconds since the Unix epoch.
