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 now summarizes all relevant information about that spec.

UMA has been made a full-fledged profile of OAuth, and over time it is incorporating (as well as spinning off) functionality that comes from the wider OAuth specification universe. The UMA core spec now refers to a resource set registration spec that was originally derived from UMA design work, but is suitable for use by other OAuth-based technologies. See the normative references in the core spec for the other referenced bits.

Following are auxiliary documents that are currently non-normative:

• UMA Requirements
• UMA Scenarios and Use Cases
• UMA Case Studies
• OAuth Dynamic Client Registration Protocol – this was a proposal made by the UMA group to the OAuth discussion on dynamic registration. It is being considered as input to the IETF OAuth Working Group's next chartered phase of effort.
• UMA Resource Registration (obsoleted by the now spun-off OAuth Resource Set Registration spec being proposed for wider adoption)

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