Hi All, We have a project called the Enterprise Sign On Engine ( http://esoeproject.org ) which is an Apache 2.0 licensed platform for authentication, authorization and accountability for both internal enterprise users and federated contexts.
With ESOE integrated into Roller you would automatically get the benefits of using openID and Shibboleth. Roller would also get our ability to do true single sign on from Active Directory enabled enterprise clients. We also have a very powerful XACML based authorization engine which allows some really unique flexibility in providing access control to content. All said and done we are trying to provide a clean general purpose solution to identity and federation that can be used across many products without needing to continually reimplement this kind of thing. You don't have to write your own database for every application you create we believe it should and can be the same way with identity. We intend to support further technologies in the future such as Yahoo's BBAuth and Microsofts Identity Card. The really neat thing is that the application side doesn't need to be changed at all when these new options come on board for end users. Please take a look around the website and I would really like to talk further with you guys if there is an interest in doing some work together. regards, Bradley -- Bradley Beddoes Lead Software Architect Intient http://intient.com - "Building intelligent open source solutions for your enterprise"
