    Description

      JOSSO, or Java Open Single Sign-On, is an open source J2EE-based SSO infrastructure aimed to provide a solution for centralized platform neutral user authentication.

      The Pluggable framework allows to implement and combine multiple authentication schemes with credential stores.

      An authentication scheme is a security mechanisms used to verify user identity based on his credentials. Sample authentication schemes are username/password authentication or Certificate based authentication.

      Credential Stores are repositories for user credentials to be used during the user authentication transaction

      You could configure JOSSO to use for example certificate-based authentication scheme obtaining user X.509 certificates from a database using JDBC.

      JOSSO uses web services for asserting user identity, allowing the integration of non-Java applications (i.e: PHP, Microsoft ASP, etc.) to the Single Sign-On Service using the SOAP over HTTP protocol.

      We should check if this fits into what we need
