Our organization would like to have users authenticate against a different system than Appian (at this point we'd like SAML 2.0 integration, but will substitute SSO or LDAP for expediency) but with a twist...
We'd like to have the user account created on authentication, when there is no account.
We'd also like to have the user account updated with the latest information, when the account exists.
In both of these instances we'd like to retrieve the user details from an internal database. Anyone have advice, experience or sample code to offer?

In theory, the appian suite.ear uses Spring Security under the covers. Spring Security is very mature and has a full set of extensions and ability to bring in custom modules. A more intrusive option would be to contain the option A as a custom java module plugged into the Appian configuration. Again, while this appears to be theoretical possible have not done this exact scenario. Just thought I would bring this up for discussion purposes.
