I have seen the need for a feature like this when a customer support representative needs to order on behalf on someone. In this particular case, the customer support rep could only order on behalf of the customers they were responsible for, but did not need credentials to "become" the users they were supporting.

To add to the list, I don't know if there's a feature for this... 

But, is there a way to do impersonation of users? Essentially, one user/agent logs in and then becomes a different user without requiring the user password. We're seeing this for REST based server-to-server communication calls. I am extrapolating that I could do some sort of silentAuthentication like indicated in the doc on the TicketMonster-PicketLink example, but that piece of the code isn't visible on the product documentation page. 

Thanks, 
Anil

There's three quickstarts that have been merged into JDF so far: 

picketlink-authentication-jsf - Simple authentication example 
picketlink-authentication-idm-jsf - Authentication using Identity Management 
picketlink-authorization-idm-jpa - Authorization example based on groups and roles 

You can find these in the JDF repo here: 

https://github.com/jboss-jdf/jboss-as-quickstart 

There are also a whole bunch more planned and in progress, which we'll be adding as they are completed. If you have a good idea for a quickstart, please let us know also.

Is there a location for the quickstarts?  I've seen references in the emails and on the Wiki roadmap, but I've not seen any discussion about that.
We're definitely anxious to see how we can utilize PicketLink 3 for our prototypes, including preliminary OAuth 2 support.  

Thanks,
Anil
