All - I have identified a couple other blockers for this release and they are delaying the creation of a new RC.
Pac4J is becoming more and more important as KnoxSSO is being used more. * KNOX-1119 is intended to acquire a meaningful identity attribute from the resulting UserProfile rather than just the ID. This is especially important for the indirect authentication clients in pac4j such as SAML, OAuth, OpenID. * KNOX-1120 is intended to complete the migration to pac4j 2.1.0 which should include eliminating the use of ConfigSingleton class which makes it difficult to have multiple pac4j protected topologies in the same instance - as they step on each other. I expect these to take a few days to resolve and am hoping to get a new RC spin up by the end of the week. Thanks, --larry
