Creating a custom JSON API for Domino data with authentication

Question

I need to expose custom domino data as json through an url/endpoint, I am creating an xAgent, xe:jsonRpcService or xe:restService that will expose the json

Applications from the internet/intranet will consume this data but I need them to authenticate.
