The 2nd in the series of documents on
Single-Signon for ALF has been updated on the ALF website
(http://www.ecipse.org/alf) to version
00.14:
http://www.eclipse.org/alf/includes/ALF_Security_Technology_and_Design_draft.pdf
)
Unlike earlier drafts posted to the ALF website, the author considers version 00.14 to be complete and ready for a thorough
review. We look forward to community review, feedback and
discussion.
The document covers the design and sources of
technology to implement SSO for ALF. The goal of the document - to
describe the design and technology to be used in sufficient detail to allow the planning for implementing ALF SSO to be accomplished - has been
achieved. The document includes an Implementation Plan that phases
the capabilities.
The first document in the series, ALF Security
Architecture: SSO (See:
http://www.eclipse.org/alf/includes/ALF_Security_Architecture_SSO.pdf
) has also been updated to version 00.26. The Architecture document
covers the entities involved, protocols used, and architecture of the ALF
SSO system. The latest version on the ALF website updates the text and
figures to flesh out some remaining sections of the document and reflect
what has been learned during the Technology and Design
effort.
You are invited to read both documents, especially the
newer Design and Technology draft, and contribute to them by providing text, feedback, implementation experiences, etc. Areas where feedback
would be most welcome are:
1. The assessment of the open source
technologies proposed, (or are there better alternatives?) - that is, are
we making the best technology choices for building ALF SSO?
2.
Does the ordering of the capabilities into implementation phases meet
the community needs?
3. Does anyone want to sign up to help build
the SSO system?
Regards,
Brian
