--------------------------------------

Guy-

I agree with both your points. However, JBoss Portal does not drive the design decisions of SSO Frameworks. Every SSO Framework has its own architecture, and JBoss Portal takes the approach of integrating with most widely adopted open frameworks out there

With CAS and JOSSO, although you get point #1I don't believe hot swapping Identity Connectors is supported. This is kind of the bane of old Hub and Spoke Frameworks.

JBoss SSO on the other hand is completely authentication agnostic. There is no redirect to a Hub and back architecture. It only serves as a Cross Domain SSO Session orchestrator in a nutshell.

OpenSSO has a hub and spoke model but not sure if Identity Connector is swappable based on client.

In short, JBoss Portal takes the approach of integrating with whatever architecture the Framework dictates

> Current integration uses Mbean services for integration requiring the CAS and JOSSO server to be co-located in the same AS as the portal server.
> Make this integration such that CAS/JOSSO servers can be deployed on completely different machines, even physically
