Hi Simone,

OpenID is another protocol mainly for authentication...

WS-federation addresses authentication and claims based authorization.

Salut Jean-Baptiste!
sorry for my lack of knowledge, but it reminds me the OpenID protocol
- looks like it uses the same terminology as well.
How Fediz it is related to the OpenID specification?
Many thanks in advance, all the best,
Simo

Hi,

I would like to propose Fediz to be an Apache Incubator project.

Fediz is an implementation of OASIS WS-Federation for Web SSO. The core
concept is to externalize the authentication process to a centralized
authentication server (called Identity Provider (IDP)) which can support any
kind of authentication mechanism. The IDP issues a security token like SAML
which contains the authenticated entity as well as role information and/or
other claim data of a user like name, email, others which is sent to the
application (called Relying Party (RP)).

Here's a link to the proposal on the wiki
http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/FedizProposal

I've also included the initial contents below.

As said in the subject (RFC), so any comments and new mentors are welcome

Thanks
Regards
JB
