Evaluating Authentication Servers that best work with Syncope.
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.
Regards,
Suresh

Hi Suresh,
maybe this post [1] could explain what's approach in our company.
Though OpenAM isn't "very" Open Source project, I have a lot of
experience with it and it's a good option. But if you are looking for a
complete Open Source AM to be integrated with Apache Syncope I suggest
you to use Jasig CAS.
This is, of course, my personal opinion.

Thanks for the prompt reply.
We will do a POC and evaluate CAS

Nothing much to add - indeed we have a deployment with CAS + Syncope
that runs very smoothly.
CAS is fairly easy to understand and to connect with Syncope.
See also an earlier discussion on this list:
http://syncope-user.1051894.n5.nabble.com/Connecting-Syncope-to-CAS-td5706823.html
AFAIK there's no publicly available CAS AuthenticationHandler
implementation that calls Syncope's
REST API to verify the user's credentials, but it is easy to implement.
Cheers,
Guido

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"overloaded" and a bit outdated.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.
