New Version Of Symlabs Federated Identity Suite Ready
For those of you who are currently using, testing, or just considering Symlabs Federated Identity Suite, I thought I should sneak in here and insert a mention that we've released version 3.5.0 with support for Windows Cardspace Information Cards.
This update provides Security Token Service (STS) in the Identity Provider (IdP) Server, and also as a standalone STS module that can be used independently. In addition, the IdP Server now supports Cardspace logins as an authentication mechanism, and it includes Managed Card Provider functionality for generation and ongoing management of Information Cards. If you'd like to try out these features, you can download an evaluation copy of the new version from our website at http://symlabs.com/products/federated-identity-suite/download.
Along the way, we made a number of internal improvements, for example we changed the credential verification process to squeeze out some additional performance. And, to make building secure identity-aware database applications easier in a Liberty Web Services environment, we've added some example implementations of ID-DAP Web Services Clients (WSC) and Web Services Providers (WSP) to the package that will give you a good head start.
So, there's a bit of something for everybody in this version, and you can be sure we'll continue to focus on adding versatility, reliability, and performance to Symlabs Federated Identity Suite. If there are any suggestions you'd like to give us for things to work on, please feel free to drop by our website and leave us some feedback.
