Several attempts have been made to unify authentication system (OpenAuth being one). They all have problems. A recent one that looks very interesting is a proposal from IBM (https://idemixdemo.mybluemix.net/). Unfortunately it means entrusting your security to a central authority. The trade-off is that services needing authentication only get to see the minimum information they need to make a decision. poc -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
