The code is very generic since it simply gets the userID from the HTTPServerRequest and doesn't make any reference to a specific SSO tool, just that the user has been authenticated.
I'd be happy to submit the code. It's quite heavily tied to LDAP too though, since this is where Dspace gets the other required user details (name, email address). This is why I started with copying the LDAP module rather than the arguably more similar implicit X509 module. Still, as you say it would be a good starting point for anyone who wants to implement an SSO based authentication module. I need to work on the code some more, and implement a new login page using the sitemap.xml (thanks for this) so I'll get a finished product and post it up. Alternatively/additionally, I could submit via github for review?

Is this something generic enough to be included in DSpace, so that other OpenSSO users could benefit from it? It's OK if it's not perfect, but someone else might use it as a starting point. > How do I create a new login page...RemoteUser-login, and use this instead?
