Hi Matt,
Thanks for the info. I've added some requirements to the given page.
Could you reference the IPZilla entries so that I (as committer) can
track? Once approved will the code be added in one of the Equinox
incubation areas?
Also for my information...will this run on CDC 1.0/Foundation 1.0
runtime? Will it add to equinox-required set of bundles? (e.g.
extension registry, jobs, etc?)
Thanks,
Scott

Yep, there's code in the pipeline -
it's in the IpZilla process at this point. Essentially, the
contribution
is geared towards plugging JAAS SPIs into the system (ie: LoginModules,
CallbackHandlers and Configuration) and providing access to a
platform-wide
Configuration and a LoginContext implementation that is extended in
Eclipse-related
ways: events, dialog-based prompting, etc. Principals are supported via
LoginModules, the big remaining work will be integrating the
LoginContext
into startup, things like the Jobs framework, and authorization
decisions
for extensions, etc.
For now, toss requirements into the
wiki: http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/Security:_Requirements.
It might be time to start categorizing the security requirements into
categories
for login/user authentication, credential management, code
authentication/authorization,
etc. I'll do that this week.
