Hi all,

I would like to merge SAML2 SSO/SLO integration with CloudStack.

This auth mechanism is implemented as a plugin with special auth cmds that uses 
an auth framework 
(https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CLOUDSTACK/Authentication+Refactoring)
 to get the pluggability. The present implementation has addressed several open 
ended questions and was tested to work with feido’s public IdP whose params are 
also set as default config params. Future iterations will try to solve few 
leftover agenda as mentioned on the FS.

Using John Burwell’s recommendation, I’ve not used Spring SAML extension but 
instead used the OpenSAML library and the inbuilt BountyCastle infra for 
auth/X509 stuff.

The major limitation which is by design is that it will work on with HTTP 
redirections bindings (won’t support SOAP and other resolution protocols as per 
SAML2 spec) and x509 signature/usage needs to be improved using either 
CloudStack’s own JKS keystore or create keys in the keystore table when the 
plugin is configured.

More more information please read the proposal, FS and feel free to ask 
questions.
