Smith/All,
I think given the precedent of Get-Printer-Attributes, we should consider that Get-System-Attributes has a similar limitation (no authentication) in order to allow Clients to discover a system service. And we can log an issue against the system service spec to track a future errata update that clarifies all of this... :/

If the IPP System supported OAuth, then presumably a Client could do a Get-System-Attributes operation to get these same two attributes.

I cannot tell from the definition of "Get-System-Attributes" in IPP System v1.0 (http://ftp.pwg.org/pub/pwg/candidates/cs-ippsystem10-20191122-5100.22.pdf#page=70) whether a System object is allowed to challenge a Client for authentication in response to a Get-System-Attributes operation request.

I cannot find any references to oauth authorization in the document "IPP System Service v1.0 (SYSTEM)". Is there any plan to describe oauth authentication on the level of IPP System?
