Hi,
This looks good, congratulations!
It would be nice if it could be integrated in XWiki (with your kindly
offered help), as it provides support for many authentication
protocols. However, this must not be done in a haste. We should
establish some goals, an implementation plan (including eventual
changes needed in the XWiki engine), and a target version. I think
that 1.0 is out of the question, so we need to decide if it is a
feature that must go into 1.1 or it can wait until the XWiki 2.0
architecture is finalized.
(@Vincent) Should we establish a developer meeting on IRC to discuss
this? Or are mailing lists OK?
On another topic, how stable is the ESEO API? Can we count on a
future-compatible integration?
The really cool part is that the integration on the application side for
pure identity transfer is minimal, especially in java with the use of
filters.
If you'd like to take it further and integrate authorization to the
ESOE's policy decision point (and I think it would be a god idea) that
would take a little longer.
The API itself should be pretty static from this point forward, while
we've got it tagged at 0.1 in reality its a lot further ahead then that,
infact we're rolling into production at some sites shortly.
regards,
Bradley
Thanks,
Sergiu

Hi,
In later March there was a thread about openID support for xwiki, at the
time I mentioned new project we were about to launch which could solve
the openID issue as well as shibboleth, active directory and LDAP
integration.
That software is now available at http://esoeproject.org
Have a look at what it can offer I would be happy to work with the xwiki
community further to integrate appropriately.
regards,
Bradley
