Hello again!

One thing that just came to mind is the implications for the clients.

Today the client libs are supporting "AeroGear Security", for cases like the RESTful login.

For example, taking the iOS library:
https://github.com/aerogear/aerogear-ios/blob/master/AeroGear-iOS/security/AGRestAuthentication.m

This class somewhat expects an endpoint, that under the covers uses AeroGear Security-PicketLink JAR. The AGIOS-35 ticket is a good example of how client had to be changed due to updates on the used version of PicketLink.

Now, I am wondering, what does the deprecation of the java libraries mean for the client offerings? For instance, once we did port the endpoints (for instance on AeroDoc) to vanilla PicketLink, should this iOS class/module just function like before? Or does it even make sense to keep that functionality?  Or, instead of on the "core" module (speaking iOS), would it make sense to move it into a different/separate project ? 

Greetings,
Matthias

Good morning everyone, today I would like to announce the deprecation of the following projects:

- AeroGear Security 
- AeroGear Security PicketLink 
- AeroGear Security Hawk 
- AeroGear Security Shiro

Please see: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AGSEC-179. This decision didn’t come from nowhere. We just had few classes, created because we didn’t have a final solution for security on the server side. Today we have Keycloak and Picketlink to replace AeroGear Security and we are not abandoning security on the server side, just joining our efforts with Keycloak.

The following projects will be immediately affected: 

- https://github.com/aerogear/aerogear-jaxrs-demo 
- https://github.com/aerogear/aerogear-unifiedpush-server 
- https://github.com/aerogear/aerogear-integration-tests-server 
- https://github.com/aerogear/aerogear-aerodoc-backend 

I will be working to migrate the codebase. If you this change might affect you, please raise your hand.

I’m doing it for the best.
