OpenPaaS POC

Participants : Olivier Perrin [contact] , Ahmed Bouchami.

The OpenPaaS Proof of Concept was presented during the final review of the FSN OpenPaaS project. Our contribution was dedicated to the authentication mechanism, and to the authorization framework. These two functionalities was delivered thanks to two RESTful services. The authentication service wrapped the LemonLDAP::NG product within a fully RESTful service, while the authorization service uses the reputation of people within the Enterprise Social Network, and computes the decision/rejection of access based on the trust level of the subject requesting the access. The source code can be obtained via request addressed to Olivier Perrin.
