So, what's new in 8.0?
* The Fedlet - a lightweight way for service providers
to quickly federate with a SAML 2.0 identity provider
* Multi-Protocol Hub - allows companies that are
members of a circle of trust to speak different federation protocols
* Identity Services - invoke AAA services using your
IDE of choice or any programming language (e.g. Java, .NET, PHP, Ruby,
etc.)
* Express Builds - deploy next-generation features
from the OpenSSO community with the same support and indemnification
provided with commercial releases
* Ease of Use - new task-based UI for common
federation-related operations
* Ease of Install - just drop the WAR file into your
servlet-container of choice, hit it with a browser and, in the simplest
case, supply admin passwords
* Much, much more - centralized server configuration
(no more AMConfig.properties text file), centralized agent
configuration (no more AMAgent.properties text files)...Check out the 2nd Life event here: http://www.sun.com/emrkt/campaign_assets/secondlife/opensso.jsp
