SSO Archiva / Continuum

[Lustig, Marc (Allianz Deutschland, externer Mitarbeiter)]

hi,
since Archiva and Continuum are highly complimentary it would be helpful for 
many users to have a single login for both apps. I have heard this request a 
number of times!
Already both apps ground on the same authentication and authoriation system 
(redback) and the db schemas are also the same.
Would it be possible to use a single db-instance for both apps?
I suppose it won't work because the security-roles are different for each 
system.
So, my idea is to leave the authorization each in the dedicated tables, while 
having the authentication at a central place/table.
 
Can one of the Redback-developers please explain if it would be sufficient to 
have a single table JDOUSER, and the rest of the tables to have one for each 
app. I think the easiest way would be to use the same db-instance, and simply 
prefix the table-sets: CONT_SECURITY_.... ARCH_SECURITY_....
 
I think anyway some better integration of Continuum and Archiva would be highly 
welcome.
