JAAS LoginModule for Syncope
Hi,
I am currently working on a JAAS based authentication for the CXF Secure
Token Service. Colm had already built custom login code for STS. So
after the switch to JAAS I wonder if there would be interest in a
general JAAS login module that talks to Syncope as backend?
We could implement this in the syncope project. I would try to implement
this module with minimal dependencies in mind. Ideally just with jdk
classes so it is as easy as possible to install the module.

I didn't get this at first: nice feature anyway.

Definitely.

There could be some overlap but I am not sure how much. The issues in
the roadmap sound mostly like authentication to access syncope.
What I have in mind is authentication for other apps with syncope as a
auth backend.
Of course you might want to investigate using JAAS for authentication to
syncope to make it flexible.

Hi Christian,
this looks very interesting and fits together with some work we have on
roadmap on the authentication / authorization side [1].
