We have undertaken a project to make our DAM CMIS compliant and thus get connected with Adobe Drive using it's inbuilt CMIS connector. We will be following RESTful AtomPub binding of CMIS for this.
CMIS spec doesn't talk a lot about the authentication and seems like it is outside the scope of CMIS. I wanted to know how Adobe Drive client gets authenticated with any CMS/DAM using its CMIS connector. What is the mode of authentication used - is it HTTP basic, digest authentication or something custom. So I am not sure what would Adobe Drive send to get authenticated and what would it expect in the response. How do we pass back the session token that we will create.
Any pointers wrt this are appreciated.
Thanks!
http basic

Pages 6-7 show what you'd get in a valid connection response.
