Roadmap

Short Term

Mid Term

  • Introduce clearer and more consistent status methods for ilAuthSession. Currently, determining the actual authentication state is cumbersome for consumers. The distinction between isValid() and isAuthenticated() is unclear, and calling isAuthenticated() without deeper knowledge of ILIAS internals may lead to confusion, for example, the "Anonymous" user is also treated as authenticated.

Improve Architecture

  • Introduce repository pattern
  • Improve DI handling
  • Factor business logic out of UI classes

Long Term

  • Fix overall structure. There are several services dealing with diffent auth methods, but all also have dependent code inside the authentication service. This should be split up into decouple the code.
