Hi Alexandra,
please extend it from your side.

Here are the limitations from Openstack compared to our IDM system:

- project is written in python --> no integration into java frameworks
- uses proprietary protocol --> no standardised protocol like saml, oauth2, ...
- meant only for deployment in the cloud
- can be bound to PAM, SQL, ... but not to telco specific components like HLR
- no "authentication pipeline", supports (afaik) only username+password, no other authentication mechanisms supported
- no message security --> no signature, certificates


Mit freundlichen Grüßen
Best regards
