Hi,
We are evaluating Authentication Servers to be integrated with Apache
Syncope.
Your team must have tried and implemented various Auth Servers to work
with Syncope.
From your evaluation, what do you suggest the best openSource
Authenticaiton Server that works without any issue and easy to
implement with Syncope.
OpenSSO/OpenAM
CAS
Shibboleth
are our top choices with no particular order.
Hi Suresh,
as company we had very pleasant experience with CAS: it's *actually*
open source, highly customizable and provides several important features
that are needed for access services.
FYI, CAS is also our company reference product for access and
authentication.
AFAIK, there are other successful deployment made with CAS + Syncope
(Guido, can you add something?).
I had no direct experience with Shibboleth; on the opposite, I've been
working with OpenSSO / OpenAM since the time it was Sun Access Manager:
feature-complete product with long history, possibly somewhat
"overloaded" and a bit outdated.
Unfortunately its license makes it out of scope for pure Open Source
deployments.
Just my 2c.
Regards.
