This Plugin for Zope/PAS have been developped for the European project Gears (http://gears.euproject.org/) founded by the European Commission (Leonardo Da Vinci Project, http://ec.europa.eu/education/programmes/leonardo/leonardo_en.html) to demonstrate benefits of Liberty Alliance Services and Identity Federation (http://www.projectliberty.org/) for eLearning SOA.
It relies on Lasso (http://lasso.entrouvert.org/) (Liberty Alliance ID-FF 1.2 compliant and certified library http://www.projectliberty.org/liberty_interoperable/interoperable_products/id_ff_1_2_interoperable_product_table and http://www.projectliberty.org/liberty/adoption/commercial_it).
In this project the Lasso library have been used with:
- Plone 2.5 CMS (http://gears.eife-l.org/),
- Elgg (social networking opensource ePortfolio build in PHP using PHP Lasso library) (http://gears.elgg.org/),
- Strategy Blueprint (eLearning content management system, based on .Net and using an Identity Proxy Server provided also by Entrouvert and developped for this project) (http://www.strategyblueprint.com/),
- Authentic (Liberty Alliance Identity Provider able to build the federation) (http://authentic.labs.libre-entreprise.org/).
This federation of services have been presented during last ePortfolio interoperability plugfest associated with fourth international ePortfolio Conference in Oxford in October 2006:
