David,
Thank you for replying, this is my project in co,llege and i have
to do it to earn my credit. The project is to build a generic API for SSO, I
have chosen OpenSSO and CAS to work with, do you have any better suggestion,
any other SSO that I could use. I am not getting any help, since this is one
of a kind project.
The motivation is, an enterprise has to change all the client web
application when they migrate from one SSO serevr to another, eg from CAS to
OpenSSO, by using the generic API they would just have to change the server
and thats it, it should work.
I had no idea about single sign on until I started the project, so
I if you know a better server to work with please suggest it,
thank you
Raghu
