Happy to discuss and pitch in with this - identity management is one of
my hot buttons; I'm all about JAAS, LDAP, SSO, etc.  In a J2EE
environment, we should be able to leave most of this up to the
container, anyway.

Excellent... can you abstract away the stuff that ESME has to care about into an interface?

With that, I can create a DB model and some plug-in system to allow any form of authentication.

Hi,

after the many problems with accessing externl openid providers I
would like support the topics for additional authentication means.

In a (MS-based) company setup I think the most easy way the access
ESME would be getting the NT Credentials of the logged on user and use
them for logging in.

Kind regards,

Daniel

Hi Daniel,

Once I get J2EE-container-based authentication working, this will be
really easy to implement on SAP NetWeaver using the standard SAP
SPNegoLoginModule, or on a NetWeaver system configured with UME type
LDAP. LDAP-based authentication is also pretty easy to implement in
Tomcat, which will give a less resource-hungry implementation.

All the best,
Darren
