Hi,
My name is Phillip Rhodes, and I have been a java developer since '96,
and have integrated apps with Oracle 11i ERP systems, Tibco, Vertex, sso
and all kinds of interesting projects...
I have a project called "authsum" , think of it as "sum of authorizations"
http://www.authsum.org/
Good summary architecture diagram:
http://www.authsum.org/overview/index.html
In summary, it's a SSO/Identity server. It communicates with client
applications via a JDBC or Web services api to figure out what
authorizations a user has. The authorizations are stored in a lucene
index, so it's fast (given how enterprises can have complicated
group/role structures).
Anyway, just wanted to know if it would be possible to bolt this into
ofbiz. I would be willing to give the authsum code the same license
(apache). Unfortunately, it uses hibernate/spring/tapestry (open source
products) .
It would also "complicate things" because it consists of 4 different
webapps that can be run in a distributed environment. But it also has a
SSO so that it could provide SSO across ofbiz/registration/user
admin/CMS/etc...
Just putting a feeler out.
Phillip
