 The tg-auth* system consists of two main components:
 
-    * openRBAC, a system to maintain, modify, and enforce authorization policies using the Role-Based Access Control framework. See http://www.openrbac.de/, however, the basic software has been heavily customized for use with TextGrid
-    * WebAuthN, a system offering authentication functionalities, both direct using a community-managed user directory and the Shibboleth-based DFN-AAI. WebAuthN is embedded in TextGridLab offering a Login Screen and registers the user in RBAC.

 There are some minor components interacting with tg-auth* (now obsolete since the TextGrid and DARIAH Accounts has been merged… please use the DARIAH Self Service Portal):
 
-    * PWchange, a Web application allowing for setting a new password in case the user knows their old one
-    * PWreset, a Web application that lets users set a new password in case they forgot their old one

-    * Implementation: PHP, consisting of
-        * openRBAC core: RBAC implementation backed up by an LDAP directory, e.g. openLDAP
-        * openRBAC Web Service layer: for accessing openRBAC functions via SOAP
-        * tgextra (also a SOAP Web Service): additional functions implemented for TextGrid needs, either aggregating basic RBAC functions or introducing unrelated functions that leverage the underlying LDAP server as storage
-    * Storage: an OpenLDAP server
-       * two additional schemas: for RBAC core and for TextGrid-specific attributes 
-       * Branches:
-            * ou=people for users
-            * ou=roles for the roles users can activate. TextGrid projects are treated like roles, with sub-roles for the actual roles visible in the TextGridLab. e.g. Administrator or Editor
-            * ou=resources for the TextGridObjects and their role-right assignments
-            * ou=sessions for the Session IDs that users have in the TextGridLab and the roles they activated in their sessions
