Thanks George for your suggestion. I spent my whole day reading the PicketLink doc and testing all quickstarts ... it's very difficult to get started.. I agree, it's very powerful security framework, but for people who just need a simple identity management for java ee 6 web app, I think it's very complicated.

Hey Shane, What features will the new picketlink forge add on provide? Will it do simple IDM setup? Thanks! --- Lincoln Baxter's Droid http://ocpsoft.org "Keep it Simple" On Mar 4, 2014 8:04 PM, <forge-users(a)lists.jboss.org&gt; wrote:

These are the features currently planned for the PicketLink Forge Addon: 1) Adding the PicketLink dependencies to the project 2) Generating a custom Identity Model (this allows you to more easily tweak which state you store for your users) 3) Generate a JPA entity schema for an identity model - this goes hand in hand with 2). 4) Generate the IDM configuration 5) Generate the login bean classes (basically sets up all the server-side requirements for authentication) 6) Generate a login form (client side - JSF, HTML5, other view technologies possibly?) 7) Generate RESTful interfaces for authentication 8) Create an @Admin typesafe security binding using Deltaspike 9) Setup multi-tenancy support if required. Basically the addon will trivialize the setup for PicketLink, creating all the necessary classes and views to meet the needs of a typical application's security requirements.
