Dear all
We are looking at Jetspeed 2 for possible use as our University
portal and are very new to the project. We have 3 questions that we
hope the mailing list members might be able to help us with:
1. Single Sign-on : We have seen the documentation at http://
portals.apache.org/jetspeed-2/multiproject/jetspeed-sso/index.html
that talks about a built-in SSO mechanism, based on a J2 security
implementation, but we are not sure of the status of this
component. We are also looking at CAS and Sun Access Manager as two
other options and would be interested to hear if anyone is using
any of these or how they are achieving SSO in their portals?
CAS and Sun Access Manager are solutions outside of Jetspeed that
should be easy to integrate using a custom Jetspeed security valve
(possibly combined with a servlet filter).
I want to point out that the Jetspeed SSO is a portal-centric
credential store solution.
Where as Shibboleth or CAS are federated identity provider solutions:
much more complicated beast.
In several projects we have successfully integrated Jetspeed with
federated identity managers, as well as custom single-signon solutions.
In general it usually comes down to getting a standard Java Subject
in the pipeline
2. Drag and Drop: We have also seen a pre-release version of
Jetspeed 2.1 with "drag and drop" functionality and are wondering
if this functionality is going to be released into the stable GA
version soon?
Yes, we are trying very hard to release 2.1 by the end of the month.
This will include the Jetspeed Desktop (the client side aggregator
and drag and drop)
We plan to replace the default customizer with the desktop customizer
in all cases (but this is configurable)
3. Text alternative: In the pre-release version of Jetspeed 2.1,
there is no alternative when Javascript is turned off (just a blank
page is rendered). Is there going to be any development in this
area for the next release?
I think you are referring to the login portlet.
We have another login portlet that doesnt use javascript if required.
There are parts of the Administration interface which require
Javascript.
Of course the Desktop requires Javascript
