title: Siteminder alternatives
body: <p>We are going to be setting up a new environment and SiteMinder has been suggested to help with web app authentication/authorization for both internal users and federated users.  However, we have not had good experiences with Siteminder and would like to avoid it - what alternatives would you suggest?  </p>
  
  <p>Edit: We are currently planning to be a RP/SP, but may one day be an IdP as well.  OpenID is our first planned IdP, but will expand to additional ones in the future</p>
