OGF 19, Raleigh NC Activity Credential Extension Aka Delegation Extension Scope/Intent: An Activity Credential is not used for authentication to the HPC Basic Profile-compliant Web service; rather, such a credential is used for subsequent authentication e.g., to a data server or database, another HPC Basic Profile- compliant Web service, a credential-granting service, or an attribute service. Multiple of the Common Cases of [HPC-U] can require the ability to securely transmit an Activity Credential: 3.4 (Types of Data Access); 3.6 (Multiple Organization Use Cases); 3.12 (Cycle Scavenging).
