This is a tracking bug for Change: Web Application Authentication For more details, see: https://fedoraproject.org//wiki/Changes/Web_App_Authentication On operating system level, there are numerous authentication and identity lookup mechanisms, some of them using sssd. With new Apache modules and new sssd, some of those mechanisms become more easily consumable by web applications. Various web application environments and frameworks can then consume results of the authentication and information retrieval using environment variables similar to REMOTE_USER.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 21 Accepted Changes Freeze Deadline is on 2014-07-08 [1]. At this point, all accepted Changes should be substantially complete, and testable. Additionally, if a change is to be enabled by default, it must be so enabled at Change Freeze. This bug should be set to the MODIFIED state to indicate that it achieved completeness.

For Changes you decide to cancel/move to the next release, please use the NEW status and set needinfo on me and it will be acted upon.

Hello. I have drafted the Fedora 21 release note for the Web Application Authentication change. Please would you take a look at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Documentation_Development_Web_Beat#Web_Application_Authentication and let me know if it is OK or if anything needs to be added or changed? Thanks.
