Hello everybody, What a coincidence it is, I started to look at acegisecurity last week to see if I could manage to handle Liberty Alliance with this framework...
So: OpenSSO is the GPLed version of Sun identity manager proprietary solution. It is an implementation of the Liberty Alliance specification [1]. Liberty Alliance goals is to release a standard to federate identity and identity-based Web services in the respect of individual privacy (say : Single Sign On, Single Log Out, federation/defederation process and personal attribute sharing). For the last release of Liberty Alliance specification, the LA team cooperate with SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language [2]) to produce SAMLv2 specification [2bis] (this schema [2ter] to see relation between Liberty Alliance and SAML) OpenSSO is not the first free implementation of Liberty Alliance. The first one I know is LASSO library [3], a C library with binding to Java (among other). Using this library to handle the ticket processing is quite easy [4], and perhaps it should be considered if you want to integrate Liberty Alliance to acegisecurity. All this message to say that I'm really interested in the Liberty Alliance specification and integration into Java security framework. I have not a deep knowledge of acegisecurity, but if someone wants to implement LA support on it, I will help.
