Package com.vmware.vapi.metadata.authentication Description

The com.vmware.vapi.metadata.authentication package provides interfaces that expose authentication information for operation elements across all the service elements.

To calculate the effective authentication information for an operation element, you should first see if there is an authentication scheme specified for the operation element. If it is not specified, then authentication scheme for the service element that contains this operation element is used. If it is not specified for the service element as well, then the authentication scheme for the package element that contains this service element is used.
