The WSO2 IS enables LAMP and Java websites to provide strong authentication
based on the new interoperable Microsoft CardSpace technology, which is built
on the open standards Security Assertion Mark-up Language (SAML) and WS-Trust.
WSO2’s new open source security offering features an easy-to-use Identity
Provider that is controlled by a simple Web-based management console and
supports interoperability with multiple vendors’ CardSpace components, including
those provided by Microsoft .NET. The WSO2 Identity Solution also works with
enterprises’ current identity directories, such as those based on the Lightweight
Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) and Microsoft Active Directory, allowing them
to leverage their existing infrastructure. In addition to the Identity Provider
WSO2 Identity Solution provides a Relying Party Component Set which plugs into
the most common web servers to add support for CardSpace authentication.
