pac4j for clojure ring + reitit WIP

[Ioan Eugen Stan]

Salut,

I've been working on integrating pac4j into Clojure Ring.

https://github.com/ring-clojure/ring/blob/master/SPEC.md and hopefully with reitit routing library for declarative authorization https://github.com/metosin/reitit .

I have implemented FormClient auth and authorization using an in-memory store. 

I would like to finish the integration with reitit and I would like to make it open source when it's done, but I do need some help.

I've been following the somewhat scarce documentation on https://www.pac4j.org/docs/how-to-implement-pac4j-for-a-new-framework.html

and https://www.pac4j.org/docs/index.html .

I believe I understood how some of the components should be used but it's not clear for all of them.

I can host the implementation on my GH account - at least initially - since I don't think if people pac4j devs would want to take over maintenance :) .

Some initial feedback:

There is a missmatch between pac4j mutable API's and clojure's (ring) immutable implementation of HTTP protocol.

I will come back with more specific questions.

This email is more to announce intention and to see who, if any, are willing to help and to what extent. 

Regards,

Eugen

Hi,

Your Clojure Ring pac4j implementation can be hosted as a pac4j project if:

- the implementation is quite complete

- you are willing to maintain it over time as I don't know Clojure Ring.

Yes, the documentation is quite limited, but you can take a look at reference implementations like: https://github.com/pac4j/jee-pac4j/tree/master/javaee-pac4j or https://github.com/pac4j/play-pac4j/tree/master/shared/src + demos

I'm on holiday abroad for two weeks, but I will help you when I'm back.

Thanks.

Best regards,

Jérôme

Thank you,

I will do it privatly first and when it's ready we can transfer it to pac4j.

Thank you for the links I did check out the source code to understand better what is happening.

Enjoy your vacation. I will post questions here. 

Don't feel obligated to reply during vacation.
I can wait, it's important we get this right, not fast :) .

Regards,

Eugen
