• OpenSSO Build 4.5

  It's been a while since Build 4 of OpenSSO , as we work towards an early access (EA) build of Sun Federated Access Manager 8.0, OpenSSO's commercial 'twin'. Our plan designates OpenSSO build 5 as the FAM 8.0 EA, but we still have some minor issues to iron out before we're ready for EA, hence the release of OpenSSO 1.0 Build 4.5 . Here are some of the new features in Build 4.5, compared to Build 4: The Fedlet - quick and easy Federation for SP's, where you'd rather (slightly) modify your web app than Read More...

• OpenSSO - Download, Evaluate, Deploy!!!

  A few days ago I was IMing with a guy that works for one of the large systems integrators. They have an opportunity to deploy OpenSSO with a large customer. They particularly want OpenSSO, rather than, say Sun Java System Access Manager 7.1, as they need some of the new features developed over the last few months, in advance of the upcoming Federated Access Manager 8.0 release. The SI discovered OpenSSO, found that it met the needs of their prospective customer, evaluated it for the specific requirement Read More...

• FAMTalk 02: Federation

  I just uploaded the second FAMTalk podcast - this time, I have the host's seat, presenting 'Federation', with a particular focus on SAML 2.0. You can download a PDF plus MP3 or AAC files from FAMTalk.org , or simply subscribe to FAMTalk via iTunes or RSS . We had some frustrating technical problems recording this episode - the Sony USB headset (UAB-260) I was using developed an annoying crackle about halfway through the program. Unplugging, replugging, rebooting - nothing made it work for more than Read More...

• FAM 8.0 Puts the 'Full' in 'Full-Matrix SAML 2.0 Interoperability Testing'

  As you might have just read , Liberty Alliance recently completed its first 'full matrix' SAML 2.0 interoperability test. Not only was Sun amongst the successful participants with its upcoming Federated Access Manager 8.0 product, we were the only participant to successfully test every conformance mode. Daniel , of course, beat me to the punch on this one , though I like to think my entry is laid out a little more neatly I'll also take this opportunity to point out that, although Federated Access Read More...

• OpenSSO Build 2 Hits The Street!

  OpenSSO v1 Build 2 hit the wire this morning ( CET ) - you can grab the binaries for OpenSSO itself and the new agents (see below) at the OpenSSO download page . Here's a full list of fixes in build 2 , but the two highlights are: Issue 1093 : Server configuration is now consolidated into the directory-based configuration system and exposed via the admin console and CLI - previously, several configuration parameters were set in the AMConfig.properties file.
