Hello,
I haven't any code but I'm sure we could find existing open modules for doing
the authentication via openID/SAML and only would need to write the code to
integrate them with the forthcoming Externalized User And Permissions
Management.
If you need I could perhaps help with implementing this.
PS: Some libraries we could use: http://code.google.com/p/openid4java/ ,
http://www.opensaml.org/, https://opensso.dev.java.net/ (CDDL)
Also Spring Acegi is going to support openID - it has already the code in the
sandbox and the person responsible for it recently expressed willingness to do
something about it.
For OpenID, there are two approaches we're considering for OpenQabal: 1.
use the Acegi OpenID support directly, or 2. use CAS in a sort of
"multi-hop" scenario. Supposedly it's already been demonstrated that
CAS can use OpenID in turn, meaning anything that can use CAS (which
Roller can, through Acegi) can use OpenID.
I'd hoped to start working on getting this into OpenQabal one way or
another, fairly soon. If I come up with anything that looks like it'll
be useful to the Roller community, I'll let you guys know. Conversely
if somebody here implements something, we may adopt that approach. :-)
For SAML and WS-Federation, we really haven't even started looking
seriously at how to do that. But as before, if we come up with anything
usable, it will, of course, be available to the Roller community as well.
TTYL,
