Hi Alfa, this project was developed for our community ( http://www.diabetesdaily.com) with a vision of having a flexible SSO system. We've open sourced and shared it so that others can use it and extend it freely. This community has given an enormous amount to us and we wanted to return that it in a substantial way. If we can save even one person a few hundreds hours of development and testing time, I will fall be very happy.
Some of your requests, like 1, 3 and 5, go beyond the goals of a single signon system. In our eyes, a good SSO can connect multiple systems and provide the plumbing. Items like providing access to usergroup permissions and avatars fall cleanly within that scope. Making two programs function as one by integrating designs and surfacing content jointly goes beyond what we think an SSO should do.
That said, there is a wonderful opportunity to extend this vBSSO into a full blown API for vB. I don't know if that's the direction that we want to go (it's something that vBulletin really should have done a while ago), but it's a worthy goal.
If you were interested in hiring us to create additional addons, we are able to do so and could open source the end product so others can utilize it. Even better, we'd love to see some dedicated members of the community jump in and help extend this project. We are happy to give feedback and support to anyone that wants to make it happen. |
