I've raised JIRA for form based authentication support:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FEDIZ-36

Will apply your patch. Works fine for me.

Will add configuration option for the signin jsp.

Subject: RE: Fediz IDP refactored

Hi Juan

First, agreed, the IdpServlet is not required anymore.

You bring up an interesting idea with spring webflow. During the refactoring I 
was thinking whether I could re-use all the authentication mechanism supported 
by Spring security and integrate that into the filter where the authentication 
mechanism decision is made (based on wauth parameter or other means).

I don't have much experience with spring webflow but as far as I know it's 
finally also a state machine with the addional capability to control the order 
of the processing units whereas the ServletFilter order is given at deployment 
time. Do you think we need this flexiblity?

In the documentation of spring webflow, they talk about view-state only which 
we don't have as the authentication itself would be handled by spring security 
and further processing initially has no user interaction.

I'd appreciate if you could start with a version of the IDP using spring 
webflow.

Another benefit of spring webflow is when the IDP provides more user interfaces 
like a page where you see you're logged in or to trigger the single logout, etc.

Thanks
Oli

Subject: RE: Fediz IDP refactored

Hi all.

I have done a quick (filter + jsp) to allow for http-form-based authentication.
This works great, and is a breathe do be done.
Nevertheless, I do think that we need a flow engine  (e.g. spring-webflow) more 
than a state machine.
This would to allow for a more flexible combination of operations incl. 
exceptions recovery (and as a side effect would allow for calling a given state 
for different "initial states").
In my filter, for instance, if a user enters a bad login/pwd, the 
STSClientFilter throws a ProcessingException, but I have no real mean to deal 
with this.
Of course, I can override the doFilter method but doing so would defeat the 
purpose of your state machine.
We can think of another method to catch these errors, but again is this not a 
reimplementation of a workflow engine ?

Apart from that,  I too think that the IdpServlet could be removed altogether.

Kind regards
Juan Manuel

+1 - looks good to me. Is there any reason to keep the IdpServlet around
any longer?

I guess it would be more flexible to be able to call a filter if all (or
some) of a number of conditions are all met - it might be more complex than is 
required though?
