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,
You can get FAS info through a json feed.
Here are a couple of almost identical working examples:
