Sun Puffing Continues From yet another Identity Management blog, this post raves about Sun's Identity Management. It's specific about Sun's advantage in being able to deal with tens of millions of identities. Of course, it is hosted on blogs.sun.com ... and OpenSSO ... from the same blog ... Web SSO, Of Course. You knew that.It's a centrally controlled service that creates and mainains a verifiable user session and creates an audit trail. Applications use the central service to verify that the user is in session and to report audit events [from the architecture document). Let's see, you have to modify every app to use the service, like that's going to happen, and you're going to introduce another single point of failure server. Under Limited scope of SSO we find "web applications that are hosted on servers that do not reside in the domain of OpenSSO services deployment will not be able to participate in SSO" .... a small and probably disqualifying limitation. Children and their toys. Scalability / Performance I just can't wait until we can talk about our monster Benchmark and our fabulous results. I posted them once on the other blog but wisdom prevailed and we pulled it down before any of the robots found it. Today? Round two of the book proposal. Still looking for a title. OpenLDAP: the Hitchhiker's Guide is the leading candidate, not leading to be the title, leading in our silly way as the one we'd must like to see (right now). Suggestions gladly accepted.. Day 1607 that bin Laden is uncaught. Day 3 of Alito. It's the day on wich the PATRIOT Act has to be rescued from lapsing. Again. Maybe they'll renew it for a week this time.
