[Openefm-development] Authentication and Attorney Registration

[Jeremiah J. <jer...@go...>]

Dumb question here.=20

What's the standard authentication scheme for the EFP to use with the
EFM?=20

Does the court use the EFM to setup users and then the user take that
id/password to the EFP and register it? Then does it use that ip/pass
pair to insure that a filer is who they say they are? It seems that you
need more than just an ID to associate who filed what. If I find out
that atty bob's id is 12 and I register with the EFP to use id 12 when
dealing with a court's EFM all sorts of bad things could happen. When I
look at the examples and you code, I see no references to the actual
filer, nor any security to insure they are who they say they are...I do
see id/pass for the EFP to connect to the EFM, but that doesn't seem
like enough. What is the general procedure for this stuff to work? This
also brings up the question of how do PRO SE filers get
identified/approved with the court?=20



If at first you don't succeed, give up, no use being a damn fool.
