WSO2 Identity Solution 1.0 is now available

We released the WSO2 Identity Solution last week with an Identity Provider and a set of relying party components.

The identity provider component supports issuance of information cards and tokens defined by Microsoft CardSpace specifications. Some of the main features are :

• Simple management console


• Ability to connect to custom user stores (LDAP/Microsoft ActiveDirectory, JDBC)


• Built in user store


• Support for the CardSpace default claim set


• Support for custom claim dialects and claims types


• Statistics/reporting/audit trail


• Ability to revoke information cards


• Issues information cards based on username-token credential and self issued credential

The relying party components includes an Apache2 HTTPD module (mod_cspace) and a Java servlet filter component. mod_cspace has useful features such as ability to enforce CardSpace authentication on static web content. Extensions for Drupal, MediaWiki are also available that can be easily configured with mod_cspace.

Documentation on setting up and using the identity provider and other relying party components are available at http://wso2.org/project/solutions/identity/1.0/docs/index.html
