Passive Requestor Profile WS-Federation contribution

<img
src="http://zdownload.zurich.com/mailimages/ZHP_MailHeader.gif" />

Hi there

I'd like to extend Tomcat to support the Passive Requestor Profile of
WS-Federation and contribute this to the community.

What is the approach I should proceed? Shall I log JIRA and apply the
"patch" there?

Thanks
Oliver

Tomcat uses Bugzilla, not Jira but apart from that, that is the right
approach.

Based on a quick glance at Wikipedia, this looks like something that
belongs in a library that would be packaged with an application. On that
basis, it is unlikely to be included with Tomcat. It is prefectly
possible I have misunderstood the purpose of this so be sure so include
some info in the BZ ticket as to why it is a good idea to have this in
Tomcat by default.

Hi Mark

WS-Federation Passive Requestor Profile is part of the authentication
mechanism within a servlet engine/app server and not part of the web
application.
http://docs.oasis-open.org/wsfed/federation/v1.2/ws-federation.pdf
(section 13)

Tomcat provides builtin support for Form based authentication and different
kind of authentication backends (Realms). The described solution is just
another way for authentication and authorization support (roles).

Do you agree?

Thanks
Oliver
