Subject: [ANN] SAML V2.0 Kerberos Attribute 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 TC [1]: SAML V2.0 Kerberos Attribute Profile Version 1.0 Committee Specification 01 29 August 2011 Overview: This specification defines an attribute profile for the Kerberos protocol. The SAML V2.0 Kerberos Attribute Profile describes a SAML attribute profile for requesting and expressing Kerberos protocol messages. In this version of the specification, this is constrained to the Kerberos KRB-CRED message type. The mechanisms that are used to generate the Kerberos message are outside the scope of this document and are described by IETF RFC 4120: 'The Kerberos Network Authentication Service (V5)'. About the TC: The OASIS Security Services (SAML) TC was chartered to to "define, enhance, and maintain a standard XML-based framework for creating and exchanging authentication and authorization information. Inter- and intra-enterprise application architectures require interoperable security solutions that transcend the boundaries of single security domains. The interoperable exchange of security information between domains, including the ability to federate identities across such domains, is crucial to developing solutions for business problems such as performing Web Single Sign-On, utilizing distributed authorization services, and securing e-business transactions."
