Identicentric folks release SimAXS. Most Access management application use HTTP headers to pass login id, roles, group lists, profile data, and identity information using the same mechanism. This handy tool can pass header variables directly to IdM applications saving your developer a valuable “billable” time. Grab it now while it’s still $399.

Here is a high-level overview of simAXS.

Starting from version 1.0.4, Penrose virtual directory services can be run under OpenLDAP using back-java backend. Here is the complete instruction.

UPDATE: Java Backend for OpenLDAP is now available for download.

Good news! We’ve launched our final release version of Penrose Virtual Directory Server. This release is a direct result of the awesome support from the Safehaus and Apache Directory communities… so thanks again to all of our 50+ beta testers. Download Penrose 1.0 now.

Penrose can leverage Sun Java Directory Server to store its persistent cache. Here is the HOW-TO.

Penrose supports Mult-target Writeback where a single LDAP operation against Penrose server would be translated to many write operations to the backend stores (multitarget). If all back-end stores are XA-aware, Penrose can execute XA-write back (for example, System 1 and System 2 must update, or the entire transaction rolls back). This feature is quite useful for provisioning multiple accounts.

You can now run Penrose inside Jboss. While we’re at this topic, I want to discuss the licensing compatibility. As you know GPL and LGPL licensed software don’t mix. In Penrose case, we made an exception for LGPL-based software, including Jboss.

see our FAQ

Can my BSD/LGPL licensed software includes Penrose without violating your GPL license?
Yes, you CAN. We created a FLOSS exception to address this concern. Jboss (LGPL License) can embed Penrose without worrying about license compatibility.
However, It would be illegal for a commercial vendor to re-distribute/re-sell Jboss with Penrose inside.

We just released Penrose 0.9.8 which now supports a persistence cache mechanism. Persistent cache allows a faster recovery from hardware failure by storing all the cached entries into a persistent store. A persistent store can be a database or an LDAP server. We tested our persistent cache implementation against both OpenLDAP and Sun One DS.
