Metadata Authentication Component APIs
The Component service provides operations to retrieve authentication information of a component element. A component element is said to contain authentication information if any one of package elements contained in it has authentication information.
Operations
get
List Authentication Component
Returns the identifiers for the component elements that have authentication information.
Returns the identifiers for the component elements that have authentication information.
get
Get Authentication Component
Retrieves authentication information about the component element corresponding to componentId. The ComponentData contains the authentication information about the component element and it's fingerprint. It contains information about all the package elements that belong to this component element.

get
Fingerprint Authentication Component
Retrieves the fingerprint computed from the authentication metadata of the component element corresponding to componentId. The fingerprint provides clients an efficient way to check if the metadata for a particular component has been modified on the server. The client can do this by comparing the result of this operation with the fingerprint returned in the result of Component.get.
