[security-dev] PicketLink IDM subsystem

Thu Mar 28 16:31:11 EDT 2013

Sure, if it is fine for you and Stain we can start next week.

I'm going to review the PL 2 subsystem to see how we can start merging the code. Maybe I can have something on Monday. Then we can discuss and decide about the next steps.

Thanks.
Pedro Igor

It all sounds good to me. I cannot comment much around Federation part 
but if it all can fit together it is even better.

Let us know how you prefer to proceed on this and we can sync next week 
and help you. If we could merge stuff together and release some initial 
version quickly then we would ditch our own prototype and use picketlin 
idm subsystem instead in our demo application (evenjuggler).
