    Greetings!

    The paragraph under 17 Security Considerations reads:

    *****
    TOSCA does not mandate the use of any specific mechanism or technology
    for client authentication. However, a client MUST provide a principal
    or the principal MUST be obtainable by the infrastructure.
    *****

    Err, these are the only two uses of "principal" in the TOSCA document.

    Both are requirements (MUST) and yet are undefined in the document.
    Even by reference to some other document that defines "principal."

    Principal should:

    1. Be removed.

    2. Defined in TOSCA.

    3. Defined in some document cited in the normative references and that
    definition referenced here.

    Hope everyone is having a great week!

    Patrick
