[security-dev] PicketLink SCIM Module

[Pete Muir]

What do you need to intercept? endpoint invocation or more?

Its primary security focus seems to be on OAuth and request-signing, which I'm happy to steer clear of for the time being and instead concentrate on building a JavaScript-based BASIC and DIGEST authentication client.  I think we still need to start a separate discussion in conjunction with Bill for the OAuth topic and where PicketLink fits into this, perhaps next week sometime we could even have a call or hangout to work out our next steps.

Specifically missing are authentication, and support for the extended relationship types (basically everything besides group membership). I'm wondering if it might be worth providing a PicketLink REST module instead, which would provide two sets of RESTful services; the first being a SCIM-compliant service, the second being a more proprietary service that exposes all of the capabilities of PicketLink.

Anil has already implemented a Java-based SCIM client in the SCIM module, but imagine if we provided PicketLink JavaScript scripts that web application developers could drop into their app - this would be a huge development time saver. I'm also thinking that the JavaScript clients should support a variety of authentication mechanisms; BASIC, DIGEST, X509, user/password, OAuth, etc. This is kind of uncharted territory for me (REST-based auth) so any feedback or opinions on this would be appreciated.
