OpenSSO and “Geneva” Server: two great tastes…
In case you haven’t heard, Sun and Microsoft have published a paper showing ways in which our respective identity federation solutions — OpenSSO Enterprise and “Geneva” Server Beta 2 — have been tested to work together. It’s been quite a satisfying project, focusing on real-world use cases involving SAML2, and I hope we’ll get more testing opportunities in future as “Geneva” matures.
Seeing as how I’m late to the blogging party, I’ll just do a link roundup here:
-
Download the whitepaper itself: Microsoft “Geneva” Server and Sun OpenSSO – Enabling Unprecedented Collaboration Across Heterogeneous IT Environments
-
Check out the Smoking Monkey’s post, BFF . . . OpenSSO and Microsoft “GENEVA” Server Interoperate — it’s silly and yet it gives important context to the scenarios and technologies we chose to test
-
Take a look at Jacki DeCoster’s entry on the official Sun “On the Record” blog noting the news
-
Go visit Mike Jones’s blog for lots of “Geneva”-related links
-
Get the official word on “Geneva” Beta 2 straight from the Microsoft Forefront team blog
-
And, of course, check out OpenSSO.org for all sorts of OpenSSO news
A big thank-you to the Microsoft and Sun team members, who worked in close coordination to turn around the testing and the paper so quickly. Naming a few names (please forgive me if I left you out): Mike Jones and Caleb Baker from Microsoft and Sidharth Mishra and Julie Costello from Sun really pulled out all the stops. Let’s do it again sometime soon, shall we??
