OpenSSO Express 8 Shall Be Released

Congratulations to all on the release of OpenSSO Express 8, an early access version of Sun OpenSSO Enterprise that is fully supported and indemnified by Sun Microsystems for customers. The new ZIP archive is available for download on opensso.dev.java.net.

OpenSSO Express 8 introduces:

• One Time Password Authentication
• A new Resource Authentication Type
• Federated single sign-on for .Net applications using the .NET Fedlet
• Support for MySQL as a user data store
• The new Entitlements Service
• A new monitoring framework built using the Java Dynamic Management Kit (JDMK)
• A new Administration Console (in beta) that allows authorization administration with the new Entitlements Service and new work flows for configuring federation and web services security
• A new work flow for setting up federated single sign-on with Salesforce.COM

A list of all the new features and enhancements in OpenSSO Express 8 is available as part of Release Notes. Detailed documentation on the new features is available on the OpenSSO Documentation wiki.

And here's an incredible (and incredibly old) performance of Bette Midler singing Bob Dylan's I Shall Be Released.
