Hi, I'm part of a team which is working on a Java-based web translation system called Zanata (formerly Flies) which needs to authenticate against the Fedora Account System (ideally SSO). What's the state of http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/OpenID ? This seems like it would be fairly easy to integrate into Java. That page says it's in beta. Would it be a really bad idea to build a system which depends on it, even as a stop-gap? Apart from authentication, I would like to check if the user has signed a CLA before letting them enter translations. What options are available to a Java system for checking CLAs? I know there's python-fedora, but is there a documented web service underneath, which I could access from Java? I guess I'm looking for an XML/JSON version of https://admin.fedoraproject.org/accounts/user/view/{username}, preferably one which doesn't require my system to authenticate itself as a Fedora user. Also, I've been looking at the python-fedora API, and I have some questions: 1. is there an attribute which tells me the user has signed a CLA? 2. can I fetch this attribute without authenticating? 3. if I do need to authenticate, how can I get a non-human Fedora account for my web server to use? Thanks! Sean. -- Sean Flanigan Senior Software Engineer Engineering - Internationalisation Red Hat
