Using Active Directory and Open ID to authenticate a Play Framework based application.

Question

I have an application I am building using the Play Framework. I would like this application to authenticate users using Open ID and Active Directory. Is this possible? Please excuse my ignorance as I am not a J2EE expert but come from a deep knowledge of the .Net framework and some experience writing Java applications. Any guidance would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

There's an existing play.lib for openid integration in your application and a Play! module for OAuth.

I'm not aware of an Active Directory related module or lib in Play!. Play! community is friendly, try asking your question on the dedicated google group.

You'll probably have some additionnal work (and secutiry concerns) if you want to integrate multiple identification schemes.

Edit: there's a thread about LDAP integration in Play!
