I would be very cautious about putting your authentication framework for your internal systems in a remote (i.e. cloud) service. That methodology seems to be asking for trouble: security, stability, performance, you name it.
Before I would go that route, I'd ask yourself, what is your expectation for availability for your authentication framework? I'm cynical of caching as a be-all answer for all (okay, many) shops when it comes to authorization and authentication. Could I be overly paranoid? Of course. But we are talking about a core security framework for your network. A little extra paranoia may be worthwhile. > On 2014 Nov 1, at 19:39 , Morgan Blackthorne <[email protected]> wrote: > > ...
