Authentication methods are specified in the Fragments elements of the XSD Schema at the end of various ProtocolFragments branches in the schema. This is because the authentication method(s) that can be used as for a connection depend on the protocol used. This hierarchy is shown schematically below:

  • Fragments
    • ProtocolFragments
      • FTPFragment
        • BasicConnection
        • BasicAuthentication
          • Account
          • Password (optional)
      • FTPSFragment
        • BasicConnection
        • BasicAuthentication
          • Account
          • Password (optional)
      • HTTPFragment
        • etc ...
      • etc ...

The protocol-dependency of the various authentication methods is integrated into the schema and explains why authentication methods lie below ProtocolFragments in the XML hierarchy. This integration in the Schema ensures that the only authentication methods that are supported by a protocol can be specified.
