Slauth To-Do list
-----------------

Near term:

* web interface:
  * add method for users to change their own passwords!!!!
  * add plugin for unknown users to apply for access
  * add user/group/ACL/session administration menus
  * add optional use of Perl Template Toolkit for web page generation
* command-line interface:
  * add user/group/ACL/session administration tools
* back-end:
  * split Slauth::Storage::* modules as follows:
    Slauth::Storage          - core module for storage method plugins
    Slauth::Storage::DB      - descendent of cueent Berkeley DB storage back-end
                               (can become its own separate plugin package)
    Slauth::Storage::DBI     - Perl DBI SQL storage back-end
                               (should be its own separate plugin package)
    Slauth::Storage::LDAP    - Open LDAP storage back-end
                               (should be its own separate plugin package)
    Slauth::Data::User       - from current Slauth::Storage::User_DB w/o DB
    Slauth::Data::Session    - from current Slauth::Storage::Session_DB w/o DB
    Slauth::Data::Confirm    - from current Slauth::Storage::Confirm_DB w/o DB
    Slauth::Data::Group      - separate group/role data management from User
  * allow use of multiple storage plugins in a single configuration

Requires more study:

* front-end:
  * make an interface for Slauth to do authentication and storage for Jabber2d
  * manage authentication for XACML (XML Access Control Markup Language) and
    SAML (Security Assertions Marckup Language) environments

Future vision:

* Provide a centralized administration and storage mechanism for
  authentication for other Open Source systems that we use.  If Slauth
  is accepted by others, then they can also look into how it can integrate
  authentication with their applications.
