| 6.2. Protection Spaces | ||||
| Authentication schemes that solely rely on the "realm" mechanism for | ||||
| establishing a protection space will expose credentials to all | ||||
| resources on a server. Clients that have successfully made | ||||
| authenticated requests with a resource can use the same | ||||
| authentication credentials for other resources on the same server. | ||||
| This makes it possible for a different resource to harvest | ||||
| authentication credentials for other resources. | ||||
| This is of particular concern when a server hosts resources for | ||||
| multiple parties under the same canonical root URI (Section 2.2). | ||||
| Possible mitigation strategies include restricting direct access to | ||||
| authentication credentials (i.e., not making the content of the | ||||
| Authorization request header field available), and separating | ||||
| protection spaces by using a different host name for each party. | ||||
