Hi everyone,
I would like to expose you all a little idea of mine.
As far as I know, *CAS* does not provide any type of integration with
graph based databases (no authentication methods like that are shown in
the documentation). That is, I think it would be interesting to build an
integration with the above mentioned database type using *Neo4j* [1]. In
particular, the features that will be implemented are the following ones:
1. *User authentication*: users will be stored as nodes with all the
needed info *(username, password ecc)* and CAS will check if the
provided credentials are stored in one of these nodes;
1. *Groups and roles *may be stored as nodes as well: an edge
between a User and a Group/Role states that the user belongs to
that group/role;
2. *Service registry*: services will be stored as nodes with all the
needed info *(serviceId, policies ecc)*
1. Users and Groups and Roles may be connected to the Services with
an Edge: users directly connected to the services may access
those ones (same thing applies for the users belonging to Groups
and Roles connected to the service
What do you think about it? Would it be interesting and, most
importantly, useful?
