There exist a couple of Python libraries that might to be reused for OpenStack Auth:
1. python-crack (http://pypi.python.org/pypi/python-crack/0.5) can be used for evaluating password strength before registering users 2. PySAML2 (https://launchpad.net/pysaml2) can be used for adding SAML functionality Also, when developing a password storage functionality, a suggestion from "Electronic Authentication Guideline" by NIST might be useful: "store passwords concatenated to a salt and/or username and then hashed with approved algorithm so that the computations used to conduct a dictionary or exhaustion attack on a stolen password file are not useful to attack other similar password files" Best Regards, Rostik _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~openstack Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~openstack More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
