Using SQL Account Store in Geneva

Question

Geneva has me pretty hot and bothered as a potential to solve complicated auth and SSO issues that have been presented to us by our customers. I understand that Geneva supports custom and SQL-based attribute stores. However, I need support for custom and SQL-based account stores.

Unfortunately, I can't find any solid confirmation or denial (page 23) that it will be supported when it is released, except that it isn't supported in Beta 2 . This gives me hope that it will, but I should know better.

Question : Can anyone settle this matter definitively?

Answer 1

It's correct that Geneva Server is not going to support other account stores that AD, however you can "easily" achieve this using Geneva Framework . There are several examples out there that show how you can build a custom sts that uses any kind of user store.

Answer 2

Figures, I whine about not finding an answer, and immediately after posting I do.

No, Geneva will not support SQL account stores ; AD only. They are potentially reviewing it for a future release.
