• Currently, SOL003 Adapter support one-way and two-way AA.
• SVNFM will be allowed to have their own security mechanisms based on their security requirements, but is required to support OAuth2 and HTTP Basic Authentication.
• Authentication Federation between the Adapters and the SVNFM/NFVO is under discussion.
• Some vendors prefer SAML-based federation
• AAF Authentication and External Authentication Server will exchange authentication tokens, based on federation configuration. It depends on AAF.
• In the Frankfurt release, the authentication federation may not be supported.
