Centrify
Corporation has announced at Microsoft Tech Ed Europe that it will deliver Web
Single Sign-on (SSO) Agents running on non-Microsoft web platforms in support
of Microsoft Active Directory Federation Services (ADFS). Available
as part of the forthcoming Windows Server 2003 R2 release, Microsoft ADFS is
Microsoft's federated identity management solution that enables distributed
identification, authentication, and authorization across organizational and
platform boundaries. The Company
is delivering the first solution that extends ADFS Web SSO Agent support to
web-based applications running on non-Microsoft web platforms (Microsoft ADFS
supports applications running on the Microsoft Internet Information Services
(IIS) platform). Thus, using
the Centrify solution, web-based applications hosted on Apache and popular J2EE
application servers including IBM WebSphere, BEA WebLogic, JBoss, and Tomcat
will support Microsoft ADFS without having to deploy any additional federated
identity software. As Michael
Stephenson, Director of Windows Server Product Management of Microsoft
Corporation says, "Microsoft Active Directory Federation Services brings
distributed users, systems and applications together in a secure, trusted relationship.
Microsoft is pleased to partner with Centrify to help customers extend the use
of Active Directory to their heterogeneous systems and applications, and now
with Centrify's support for Microsoft ADFS this interoperability has been
extended to Web Single Sign-on federated identity management scenarios." Reader Feedback: Page 1 of 1
