<section3 topic="Bare JID Disco Items" anchor="bare_jid_disco_items">
<p>A managing entity must be able to answer items discovery requests on bare jids. For PEP components, this is used to show available nodes on the service. Furthermore, An information discovery request or an items discovery requests on a node corresponding to an item advertised by the managing entity must be forwarded to the managing entity too.</p>
<p>This is done by using the special namespace '<strong>urn:xmpp:delegation:2:bare:disco#items:*</strong>' which means <em>"delegate items discovery made on bare jids with no node specified and all items discovery requests made on bare jids with a node which is not already managed by the server"</em>.</p>
<p class='box'><strong>Note:</strong> When no node is used, and unlike the <em>disco#info</em> case, the server SHOULD NOT nest its internal items with the ones from managing entity. The reason is that bare jids disco items are usually used for PEP nodes, and the server would then mix internal PEP nodes with the managing entity nodes, which would be confusing for XMPP clients and end-users. The server implementation MAY choose to nest items anyway, in which case the mechanism is the same as for disco#info.</p>
<p>A server SHOULD NOT cache result of forwarded disco#items requests, as this is highly dynamic.</p>

<p>Juliet now wants to know the IDs of blog items which has been published on her blog, to do so she does an items discovery request on her own bare jid with the '<em>urn:xmpp:microblog:0</em>' node:</p>
<example caption="Juliet Discovers Items for the Microblog Node 'urn:xmpp:microblog:0' on her Own Bare JID"><![CDATA[
<iq from='juliet@capulet.lit/balcony'

type='get'>
<query xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/disco#items' node='urn:xmpp:microblog:0'/>
</iq>
]]>
</example>
<p>Because the special namespace '<strong>urn:xmpp:delegation:2:bare:disco#items:*</strong>' is delegated to <em>pubsub.capulet.lit</em>, the server forward the request to this managing entity:</p>

<p>The managing entity answers with its own disco items for the requested entity and node (<em>pubsub.capulet.lit</em> being a PEP service, the items are actually Juliet's blog items IDs):</p>

<li>As admin mode is far more easy to implement than client mode, and client mode may impact performances, a server MAY choose to only implement the former.</li>
<li>Because of the performance impact, a server SHOULD ask for <link url='#disco_nesting'>disco features to nest</link> to managing entity when delegation is accepted, and keep them in cache.</li>
<li>&rfc6120; section 10.1 require in-order processing of stanzas, which may be problematic for this extension: either the server blocks the traffic until the managing entity answer - which can lead to severe performance impact -, or the server doesn't block and may loose order. The recommended way is to not block the traffic while waiting for managing entity answer to avoid performance issues. A future version of this XEP may include an attribute to request traffic blocking. In admin mode the server implementation MAY chooses to have a blocking option (which SHOULD be per namespace, not global).

<li>Managing entity can manage sensitive data, <em>admin</em> delegation should be granted carefuly, only if you absolutely trust the entity.</li>
<li>A server MAY choose to filter allowed namespaces. In this case, it MUST always set the allowed type of filtered namespaces to <strong>0</strong>.</li>
<li>In case of filtering, an allowlist system is more secure and SHOULD be prefered to a blocklist (idealy, configuration would allow no filtering, allowlist filtering and blocklist filtering).</li>
