We are evaluating security frameworks for new application(s) within our organisation.
Picketlink provides a number of features that are desirable to us as an organisation.
However, as I understand, Picketlink is being migrated into Keycloak, and this process
started in March 2015. Is it possible to provide any updates regarding the migration of
the following features:
* Picketlink's Java EE integration (particularly its integration with the
DeltaSpike security interceptor) is especially useful to us. Will Keycloak provide similar
CDI / Java EE integration? The FAQ at
http://picketlink.org/keycloak-merge-faq/ indicates
that this was planned to be the case, but I cannot see any progress on this issue in the
Keycloak Github or JIRA.
* Picketlink's IDM capabilities included a JPA IDM and the ability to easily
create new IDMs. How can this be achieved in Keycloak?
* Picketlink's capability to provide custom authenticators and token providers
is also useful to us. How can this be achieved in Keycloak?
I appreciate the need to consolidate projects within Red Hat, however as Picketlink is not
being actively developed and there is no clear migration path from Picketlink to Keycloak
for a number of features, users of both frameworks are left with no interim solution.
Thanks for any help in this regard
