Subject: (ANN) SAML 2.0 Session Token Profile Version 1.0 approved and published as a Committee Specification


OASIS Members,

We are pleased to announce the approval and publication of an OASIS
Committee Specification (CS) by the members of the OASIS Security
Services (SAML) TC:

SAML 2.0 Session Token Profile Version 1.0
Committee Specification 01
23 November 2011

Overview:
Web Servers and Application Servers generally maintain security state
information for currently active users, particularly once some type of
authentication has occurred. This specification defines a format for
communicating such security session state based on the OASIS SAML
Assertion. It also specifies two different mechanisms for
communicating this information between servers via a standard Web
browser.

URIs:

Special Majority Vote to approve this specification as a Committee
Specification. The specification had been released for public review
as required by the TC Process [2]. The vote to approve at Committee
Specification (CS) level passed [3], and the approved CS <stage> is
now available online in the OASIS Library as referenced above.

Our congratulations to the TC on achieving this milestone.
