We have implemented back-channel authentication for WSO2 Cloud via
extensions.. it has certain limitations - but does the job what it is
supposed to do.

We need to add 1st class support for back channel authentication to IS. Can
we do it in IS 5.3.0?

These are the two use cases...

A)

1. There are multiple web apps and also the IdP hosted on different
sub-domains under the same domain (sp1.foo.com, sp2.foo.com, idp.foo.com)

2. All the web apps use federated login with the IdP.

3. The redirect to the IdP from any of the web apps only needed - only if
the user is not authenticated. Each web app - before redirecting the user
to the IdP - does the backchannel authentication to check whether the user
has a valid session.

B)

1. There are multiple web apps and also the IdP hosted on different
sub-domains under the same domain (sp1.foo.com, sp2.foo.com, idp.foo.com)

2. None of the web apps use federated login with the IdP. Each web app has
its login screen.

3.  Each web app - before presenting the login screen to the user - does
the backchannel authentication to check whether the user has a valid
session.

Thanks & regards,
