This service provides a mechanism that allows the PASI Client to obtain the current definitions of the credentials, credential requirement sets and the embedded requirements, which PASI currently supports.

This service can be accessed by systems with the Hello World User role. Essentially any system that can access PASI Core can utilize this service.

A request to use this service will include (* denotes mandatory information):

There are no validations performed on the service request.

If a non-zero Last Known Source Version is specified, then a non-empty result will be returned if and only if there is at least one record that has a newer PASI Core Version than the Last Known Source Version. If a zero Last Known Source Version is specified then a result is always returned.

If a result is returned then it is a full credential, a partial credential definition is never returned. There is no additional filtering of the results.
