Enhancement #519

Updated by Vicente J. Ruiz Jurado over 11 years ago

We need some system that will allow other kind of auth systems (similar to openfire auth system, so you put some lib in a directory and you make a reference in the configuration to use that system). So people can develop it's own auth system (to connect kune to a LDAP system, for instance).

Furthermore we are using the wave account system and I think that we have to implement something similar in Apache wave.

Code to see:
* AccountStore.java interface in Apache Wave package org.waveprotocol.box.server.persistence
* UserManager.java interface in Kune source (but should we minimized).

Something similar to:
http://www.igniterealtime.org/builds/openfire/docs/latest/documentation/javadoc/org/jivesoftware/openfire/auth/AuthProvider.html

This is how our openfire server uses kune as auth system.
