[aerogear-dev] REST: auth: user registration endpoint

[Matthias Wessendorf]

Hi,

our client libries are using the "auth/enroll" value for the actual
registration request, examples:
- https://github.com/aerogear/aerogear-ios/blob/master/AeroGear-iOS/AeroGear-iOS/security/AGAuthConfiguration.m#L40
- https://github.com/aerogear/aerogear-js/blob/master/src/authentication/adapters/rest.js#L212
- https://github.com/aerogear/aerogear-android/blob/master/src/org/jboss/aerogear/android/authentication/AuthenticationConfig.java#L29

However, the server uses a different default ("auth/register"):
- https://github.com/aerogear/aerogear-security/blob/master/src/main/java/org/jboss/aerogear/security/rest/service/AuthenticationService.java#L48
- https://github.com/aerogear/TODO/blob/master/server/src/main/java/org/aerogear/todo/server/security/rest/AuthenticationEndpoint.java#L51

It was a decision from the past, that we have this "model", however -
rethinking causes some concerns... Is that really ideal? Wouldn't it
be just
better to have matching default, on the client AND the server ?

Please vote:
[+1] let's change the server default to match the "enroll" setting
from the client libraries
[0] I don't care
[-1] nah, let's keep all as is, since the client can override everything


Cheers!
Matthias
