build sample management app about brockallen.membershipreboot

[brockallen]

So here's my grand plan for user account management:

First I need to build a general .NET implementation of SCIM. See this: #40.

Once that's done, then I plan to develop a MembershipReboot adapter for the above SCIM library.

Then finally I plan to develop a SCIM-compliant account management application.

Ok. Now I am glad I mentioned it before I started to run down this road. You are definitely on the right track here.

So, our public site would be separate from the management side of the account management? Correct?

[brockallen]

Well, this management app could be deployed anywhere, but yes, in general I think of it as a separate app (since it's meant to be used by admin types).

The other thing about this plan is that it's a lot of work, so it's not like it's going to be done in the near future (plus I have my other consulting work to do also).

Have you seen the project here called SCIM.Net ?

[brockallen]

Ah no, I had looked for .NET SCIM implementations but didn't find any. I'll check it out.

[brockallen]

Ok, took a quick look -- it seems like a start, but it feels incomplete as if it's still a work in progress. Also, no activity in 6 months, so not sure where it stands.

[talves]

I will fork it and play with it and see if I can get anywhere. If I do, I will post it here.

[brockallen]

My goal for a SCIM project was to provide the protocol plumbing and endpoints and then expose an extensible interface so people could then adapt it to their custom storage by deriving and implementing the interface.

[talves]

I see, hence your statement "The other thing about this plan is that it's a lot of work".

That would definitely be the better of the solution. If my expertise was more in this area, I would take the first stab at it to alleviate the work for you, but I would probably just be spinning my wheels without a lot of research first.

[brockallen]

Right. Again, my idea was to build a SCIM framework that was not coupled to MR. I'd then of course build a MR adapter, but others could build adapters for the old ASP.NET Membership, or the new ASP.NET Identity.

[brockallen]

I'm closing this since the SCIM project is beyond the scope of MembershipReboot.
