The title of this blog entry is a direct quote from an email we received from a very happy Sun SE today. He's kindly given me permission to share it. I added the links for convenience Date: May 23, 2008 7:04:20 AM PDT Subject: Federation POC Success Guys, Wanted to let you know I just had worked on a POC for a long term oppty for some common activities going on at several government operations. I used build 4 of OpenSSO and the most exiting part for me and please share with the team was: 1) How nice Read More...

From the shameless self-promotion dept... Hot on the heels of her interview with Jamie last week , Marina 's latest subject is... me! Sadly, my suggested title of "Sun's Rising Identity Superstar" was rejected in favor of the far less exciting " OpenSSO , a Thriving Community". Oh well... Read More...

Sun Developer Network tech author Marina Sum starts a new series of interviews this week with OpenSSO 's benevolent dictator and Sun's director of engineering for access and federation management , Jamie Nelson (my boss, so I'd better be careful here!). In the interview , Jamie explains how web developers need to consider security, but, at the same time, avoid hard-coding it into their apps. Some great tips and useful links for any web developer - read the article here! Read More...

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...

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...

One new area of work in OpenSSO is Identity Services , allowing a developer to easily write code to authenticate users, check if those users are authorized to access resources, retrieve those users' attributes etc. While all of this functionality has long been available in different forms, the new Identity Services work collects common identity tasks into an easy-to-use set of web services accessible via SOAP and REST. Now developers working in just about any language can join the identity party Read More...

...I'm the Leader of the Gang (I Am)!!! I know - Gary Glitter has fallen long and hard, but it's still a great song and appropriate for today - Gartner has placed Sun Java System Access Manager in the leader quadrant of their Magic Quadrant for Web Access Management, 2H07 [PDF] . I happen to think that they have under-rated us somewhat on our completeness of vision, but I can't argue with the rating on ability to execute. One thing worth mentioning is that one of the 'cons' listed for Sun - "Sun Read More...

It's been a busy couple of weeks, what with a trip to Tokyo, a typhoon on the day I flew out, an earthquake at home and the usual backlog of 1000 emails that follows any trip away from the office, so please excuse the recent dearth of blog entries! On returning, I was pleased to see Sun Developer Network 's identity pages have continued their expansion. The latest additions are: An Access Manager/Federation Manager FAQ area , with general FAQs and specific lists for the admin console , authentication Read More...
