[news.eclipse.technology.alf] ALF Security for SSO documents have been u

["Brian Carroll" <bcarroll@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear ALF community,

The 2nd in the series of documents on Single-Signon for ALF has been updated 
on the ALF website 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 beed 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
