Roller Developers, I just thought I'd let y'all know that I'm going to try to speak at ApacheCon 2007 Europe. I submitted a few proposals this morning, including the following 1/2 day tutorial for Roller and Acegi Security:
<abstract> Security and Single Sign-on: Roller, Geronimo/LDAP, and Acegi Security -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Acegi Security is quickly becoming a widely respected security framework for Java applications. Not only does this security framework solve many of the deficiencies of J2EE's security mechanisms, but it's also easy to implement and configure. This tutorial will help you learn more about Acegi Security, as well as how to integrate it into your web applications. The Roller Weblogger project (currently in Apache's incubator) uses Acegi Security for many of its features: authentication, password encryption, remember me and SSL switching. After learning about Roller and Acegi, you will see how to deploy Roller onto Tomcat and Geronimo. Following that, you will learn how to hook Roller/Acegi into Apache Directory Server for authentication. Finally, you will learn how to integrate Roller with a Single Sign-on System (Yale's Central Authentication Service - http://www.ja-sig.org/products/cas). Proposed Agenda: Hour 1: Introduction to Acegi Security Hour 2: Introduction to Roller, Installing on Tomcat and Geronimo Hour 3: Integrating Roller with LDAP (Apache DS) and CAS </abstract> I'm interested in finding a flashier title, in case anyone has suggestions. Is anyone else planning on attending and/or presenting? If we have 2+ committers there, we should consider organizing a BOF. Hope everyone is having a good holiday break!
