Alternative authentication mechanisms for Mailman
If one is using mailman in an environment that has some identity management system, such as Kerberos, a SAML federation or OAUTH, mailman should be integrated into such an single sign on system to get rid of passwords.
Although I hear rumors that CERN di such an integration for shibboleth, I could not find anything on the web, because it is so hard to google for a search term containing "mailman". Also, I did not find a hint on lists.org.
Does anybody have a link to answers on questions like this:
How to do container-bases authentication for mailman? (e.g., use apache authentication like mod_ssl or mod_auth_kerb)
Is there an integration fo mailman with shibboleth or another SAML product?
Did someone integrate OAUTH2 or some social login (FB/LI/G+/TW)?

Some work has been done on SSO (via Mozilla Persona) for Mailman 3's admin interface but it's hardly ready for prime time last I heard. AFAIK it's not yet available for the core or for the archives.
Nobody has contributed it yet for Mailman 2 to my knowledge.
None of the above is authoritative, but I'm usually fairly well-informed.

If you're still after a reply, this mail I sent in 2009 (!) may be useful to you --
