There is an OpenID provider in FAS.  The problem is that openid can only

then we need to go beyond OpenID.

FAS provides a JSON API for people to query.  That's how mediawiki and
the TG web applications work.  koji and the actual servers on which
fedora infrastructure runs are synced from the fas server on an hourly
cron job.

If possible, using the JSON API is the way to go.
So FAS does its own authorization & authentication, rather than using another system to which we can plug in?
