[OpenID] WantToDo, enterprise intranet OpenID provider

[David Fuelling]

Hi Mark,

I've been working on a soon to be Open-sourced OP that I plan to put up onto
Google code in a few days/weeks -- I just need to get it to stable working
place, and have been trying to find more time to tidy things up.  I plan to
use the GPL license.

I'm not sure if it's what you had in mind, but I'm writing it in Java, on
top of the openid4java library.  The server will initially run on Jboss
(although it has been architected to run on other "application servers",
including just a servlet container like apache Tomcat).  I'm writing the
JBoss part first, because JBoss/J2EE provides a pretty mature, pluggable
authentication framework (JAAS) where you can simply "connect" various user
repositories like LDAP, database, etc.  It's very extensible, so you could
use whatever you want.

I was initially thinking that it would be used for people wanting to run
their own OP, but I don't see why it couldn't be used internally in an
enterprise-intranet.

I'll ping the list again when I post the code.

David
