Hi Mary (and Higgins
team members),
I work on the
Eclipse Application Lifecycle Framework (ALF project). Mike Malinkovich had sent
an email introducing us. The ALF team has been making great progress putting the foundation for development tools to interoperate in far richer ways
than previously possible. And now that we have the "basic plumbing" working, we are turning our attention to the topic of single sign-on among
development tools that communicate via web services.
I've spent some time
reading the material and wiki on Higgins, and my impression is that Higgins is
concerned with federated identity and rights for accessing identity information,
and that is certainly has some intersection with what ALF will need.
We have been looking at open source projects, such as JOSSO, Shibboleth (and its
component OpenSAML) among others, and would like to start a dialogue on how ALF
and Higgins can work together and ideally have some synergies such
as sharing common technology.
You can find some
documents on ALF at http://www.eclipse.org/alf. Currently, ALF's security focus is on single sign-on, but eventually it will
expand to authorization and other security aspects.
Please let me know
what times work for you and your team members for a call where we can explore
the intersection between ALF single sign-on and Higgins.
Regards,
Brian
