COmanage Developers List

As an exercise, following a call with Scott Koranda, I took a stab at 
adding “SSH” to the registry of domesticated applications.


https://spaces.internet2.edu/display/COmanage/Registry+of+Domesticated+Applications

Unsurprisingly, I ran into a couple of problems.

First, what exactly do we mean by “SSH”?  The registry is for 
applications, not protocols.  There are a number of applications that 
support SSH, both clients and servers.  Arbitrarily, I selected OpenSSH.

Secondly, OpenSSH is actually pretty domesticated.  It integrates with 
the underlying environment for authentication, authorization, groups, 
etc.  When we say SSH, I think we're actually talking about federated 
provisioning, which in some ways isn't really an SSH problem.

Thoughts?  First on what the actual problem definition is here, and 
second on how we want to capture it (ie: Registry or not).

Thanks,
