Please note, we are not (in any way) affiliated with the original creators, current contributors (to the best of our knowledge) or any other entities pushing, pulling, branching, commenting - or, in any other conceivable method - modifying the gnachman/iTerm2 Repository.

Very concisely, our goals in forking the iTerm2 repo consist of the following:

1. Integrating SSO capabilities without requiring massive modifications to the SSH (or other protocol) client and, especially, on the hosting server. To do so, we are working on utilizing Open Standards and implementing a small SQLite Database into the application which can handle identity mapping on the Client side (thus eliminating the need for anything but the most basic configuration on the host server).
2. We would like to seamlessly authenticate with an Active Directory DC, eDirectory, openLDAP, Samba, etc. The major goal is integrating Federated Services such as Token based authentication and PKI (Certificate with or without two-factor-auth). After proving these concepts, we will begin plugging widespread APIs such as Amazon/CloudStack type authentication and authorization.
