[Building Sakai] Access Sakai Tool Data via Entity Broker

[Steve Swinsburg]

Hi Thomas

As part of project keitai, almost all tools will have at least read access to their data via EB. Go to /direct in Sakai and you can see the list of entities. Most should ( and will be as park of keitai) documented so you can see how to make the request. 

Commits are going in to 2.10 so there is a fuller list of providers in trunk. Read access is first up for keitai. 

As for auth, login via the session provider, then Sakai will see you are authenticated and who you are. Providers generally check access to sites etc and use the APIs which should further check access etc. 

Cheers
Steve
