Thanks to a meeting with a vendor just before Christmas, I recently became aware that there are more open source identity management projects out there than you think (or at least, more than I thought). Some are still in a pretty embryonic stage, but others have been around for a  long time. Who knows, we might even need to jury rig a solution if times get tough.

Here’s the list of open source idm projects that I’m actually now aware of:

• AccessStream
• SourceID (identity federation toolkit from Ping Identity)
  
• OpenID
• Shibboleth
• Bandit Project
• Higgins Identity Framework
• OpenLDAP

And of course there is a whole bunch of stuff from Sun.

Has anyone used these successfully? Are there any others  I’ve missed?
