Aktuelles SSOCircle CA Certificate

If you go to wiki.service-now.com you’ll find an article on “Embedded:SAML 2.0″ the functionality added by the SAML 2.0 Single Sign-On plugin. The article explains in detail how to configure Service-now.com to use SAML authentication and outlines the Single Sign On and Single Log-out request flows in sequence diagrams.

Service-now.com uses SSOCircle as the sample Identity Provider. One more time a service provider is using our free SAML 2.0 identity provider service as a test platform of choice. Ensuring that their service is compatible and runs out of the box with SSOCircle.

Citing from the wiki the next release of Support-now will support deep linking with SAML 2.0 and processing of signed SAML requests.
Looking forward for more to come …

SSOCircle IDP has now more than 250 integrated SAML v2 service providers in its SSOCircle of trust. Although many of them are developing and testing applications and some do not allow us to use them as a reference, we believe that this is one of the largest and most active circle of its kind.

As there is still unclaritiy on what we generally understand by “IdM Market”, Burton group’s report
starts with the definition of what the “IdM” Market is composed of:

• Active Directory Bridge
• Directory services
• Enterprise single sign-on (ESSO)
• Federation
• Fine-grained authorization
• Identity and access governance
• Identity assurance
• Privileged account management (PAM)
• Provisioning
• Stronger authentications
• Web access management

IdM is now a wide portofolio and not, like some people still may think, only account provision software.
When it comes to delivery options for software, Burton Group stated that new options are becoming more
commodity. Citing from the report
“Vendors have begun to become more creative in their delivery of product to customers. Vendors have begun to
offer:

• Subscription licenses
• Appliance (both physical and virtual) delivery options
• Software as a service or hosted delivery options”

and important to mention from our perspective:

“A few vendors have begun to focus on the problems of using identity services from the cloud as well as identity
services to and in the cloud.”

Burton’s conclusion:
“The growing identity management market is vibrant. Constantly consolidating yet never
consolidated, the IdM market is mature, but that maturity is unevenly spread across the market’s sub-markets.
New entrants and approaches have continued to appear, and a number of them are focused on the emerging
problems that the cloud poses from an identity perspective. …”

One part in “Burton Group’s Opinion” is exactly what we experience in real life projects:
“Although enterprises have expressed to Burton Group that their needs have outgrown the most mature parts of the
IdM market, Burton Group has observed fantastic growth in those same market segments. This indicates that even
though architects and identity teams can be fascinated with newer, shinier technologies, their enterprises still have
basic identity needs such as user provisioning and WAM.”

When describing the market landscape Burton Group’s describes what SSOCircle propagates as a very important aspect
for a while: Idm Is increasingly seen and preparing itself to work in concert with other markets, namely of:

• Business process management (BPM)
• Data leakage prevention (DLP)
• Risk management
• Security information and event management (SIEM)
• Service management

Beside Google, Yahoo!, MySpace.com, myOpenID and generic OpenID, they have the option to log in via SSOCircle and leverage several strong authentication options like X.509 certificates, USB tokens and OTP options like Yubikey or Swekey.
