Specifications and Auxiliary Documents

This page collects our draft specifications and other auxiliary material, and various other useful materials that may contribute to them. See the list of child pages at the bottom for a summary.

We are currently using https://github.com/xmlgrrl/UMA-Specifications for our active spec development, with snapshots provided on the docs.kantarainitiative.org site. (The UMA wiki page for the core spec is now just a placeholder.)

Following is a "call tree" of key specifications and other documents that are currently referenced normatively in the UMA core spec. Support isn't necessarily required for all (or any) features of these specs; read the UMA spec for details.

• OAuth2
  • OAuth2 bearer tokens
  • OAuth2 SAML bearer tokens
• OpenID Connect Standard
  • OpenID Connect Messages
  • OpenID Connect Dynamic Client Registration
• JSON
• hostmeta
  • XRD 1.0
  • .well-known

Following are auxiliary documents that are currently non-normative:

• UMA Requirements
• UMA Scenarios and Use Cases
• UMA User Stories
• UMA Trust Model

• OAuth Dynamic Client Registration Protocol – this was a proposal made by the UMA group to the OAuth discussion on dynamic registration; our intention is for it to be superseded by the OpenID Connect Dynamic Client Registration spec

The following documents still available on this wiki are considered obsolete:
