Just to expand on the history here (Because it's somewhat important I think): The reason this isn't fas4 or fas-something is that it's a different approach. fas is a complete account system. It handles the data itself and does everything. Its the 'source of truth' for account data currently, with other things querying it or syncing with it (ipa and ipsilon). Noggin on the other hand is just a frontend. It's source of truth for data is ipa. It talks to ipa and has that handle and store the data, it's just a frontend over that with a api part to allow things to talk to it, and it in turn to talk to ipa. Doing things this way means that noggin can be much smaller and less complex, it's just a interface, it doesn't need to be a complete identity provider, and can depend on the already existing and well maintained IPA for that. kevin
