IdAS Basic Solution

Overview

NOTE: This deployment is a work in progress. This note will go away when it is functional

This simple deployment combines IdAS (along with the IdAS Registry), the JNDI Context Provider, and an LDAP server to provide an identity store which is then accessed by an application.

The application prints the attributes of some identities.
