> There is a project underway, JBoss Identity (https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBID), that aims to provide common identity management support across many JBoss projects/products.  According to the project leader's blog (http://anil-identity.blogspot.com/2008/12/federated-identity-support-with-jboss.html), JBoss Application Server, JBoss Portal, JBoss SOA, JBoss Rules/Drools, and JBoss Seam are all on board with this approach.  We should see if it makes sense for us to jump on the bandwagon.
> The end goal of using the JBoss Identity stuff would be to replace the custom membership domain provider for authentication, and also to leverage it to provide SAML-based authorization for (ideally fine grained) access to Federate virtual databases.
> SAML-based authorization has been a frequent request by prospects/customers for the closed source MetaMatrix product that is an ancestor to Federate.
> I'm deliberately logging this one in the Federate project rather than the JBEDSP product JIRA since JBoss Identity itself is also still in project-only status.
