Netegrity Ships SAML-Ready Security PlatformBy Richard Karpinski, INW Netegrity said Monday it has begun shipping a new version of its access- and identity-management platform, its first supporting Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) standards. The SAML 1.0 standard, which was highlighted in an interoperability test earlier this summer, is expected to be approved by the OASIS group by the end of this month. It provides a mechanism for enterprises to trade so-called "authentication" tokens between different systems, which will enable applications such as single sign-on. Netegrity's SiteMinder 5.5 enables federated identity and security via support for SAML, Microsoft's .Net Passport platform, and the Kerberos authentication technology. SiteMinder 5.5 enables a proprietary SiteMinder identity to be mapped to a SAML-based identity. SiteMinder creates a standards-based SAML assertion for that individual and makes it available to other sites to consumer. As for Microsoft Passport, Siteminder lets users log in just one time with their Passport ID and then log into all Passport-enabled Web sites and enterprise apps that support Passport authentication. Kerberos support, meanwhile, lets users log in their Microsoft desktop using Windows credentials that are provided with single sign-on to the SiteMinder protected environment. SiteMinder 5.5 is the first product delivery of the Netegrity Platform 5.5, an integrated platform featuring tools for identity management, single sign-on, and access control with portal presentation and integration services. SiteMinder 5.5 is available immediately.
