Subject: Enterprise Sign On Engine (ESOE) Beta 1
Enterprise Sign On Engine (ESOE) Beta 1 Bradley Beddoes, Internet2 Announcement "For the past 10 months we've been working on a system we call the Enterprise Sign On Engine. Its a SAML2 implementation in both Java and C++ as well as being an implementation of (albeit reduced) XACML 2.0 spec. ESOE supports features like native windows integration, integration with Shibboleth, integration with OpenID and of extremely powerful, centralized authorization policies. It also performs tasks such as attribute aggregation and monitoring of client versions in use at service providers but to name a few of its features. While SAML 2 based if you thing of the CAS type of market then thats a good chunk of the space in which ESOE is playing. Its not a replacement for Shibboleth but we believe it to be extremely complimentary. The project is released under the Apache 2.0 license." From the web site description: "The ESOE is built using the OASIS SAML 2.0 specification, and the ESOE's powerful authorization engine is built around a reduced version of the OASIS XACML 2.0 standard which we have called Lightweight Extensible Authorization Control Markup Language or 'LXACML'. The ESOE can integrate identity from unlimited repositories, automatically create sessions for users whom are logged into Active Directory (true single sign on), provide for centralized authorization policy management and natively federate with technologies such as Shibboleth and OpenID. We hope you'll find the ESOE a good choice for your needs amongst the wide variety of SSO solutions that are available, both from commercial providers and other open source projects. Of course if you're already using an SSO solution, there is a pretty good chance the ESOE can interact with it, allowing you to use the enhanced capabilities of the ESOE without needing to replace everything you already have. Being heavily standards based, all your existing identity infrastructure such as LDAP compliant directories, databases and even flat files are only a plugin away." http://www.esoeproject.org/ See also the ESOE features: http://esoeproject.org/confluence/display/eu/ESOE+Features
