[midPoint] midpoint 3.7.1 and SSO

[Radovan Semancik]

Hi,

Authentication modules based on Spring Security are not midPoint 
functionality per se. It is more like a side effect of midPoint being 
based on Spring Security framework. Albeit it is a very convenient (and 
often used) side effect, it is not officially supported midPoint 
functionality. We sometimes support these modules for midPoint 
subscribers - if that was negotiated as part of the subscription. But 
they do not have such a broad support as other midPoint features.

In midPoint 3.7 we have changed the way how Spring is used in midPoint. 
We now follow the annotation-based configuration, which has its benefits 
and it also seems to be the future of Spring. Things like this happen 
occasionally. We have to continually update midPoint foundation 
otherwise its architecture might become obsolete. That is part of the 
development process. During midPoint 3.7 development we have converted 
existing Spring Security authentication modules from file-based to 
annotation-based form. But we have converted only those modules that are 
used by midPoint subscribers. I'm sorry, but midPoint is quite a big 
system now and we have to prioritize our work.

Therefore, as always, you have the usual options:
