SSOCircle the first Identity Provider supporting SAML 2.0 and OpenID protocols now includes attribute exchange through OpenID Simple Registration Extension.
You are now able to share profile attributes ( like name or email address ) between the IDP and the Relying Party. You will be asked to confirm the transfer of attributes as soon as the service you are signing in is asking for it.
Thanks to Paul C. Bryan for making this possible.
With SSOCircle you can now experience Single Sign On to Google Apps: Email, Calendar, Docs and Spreadsheet plus a personalized portal page. See how it works and get your ssocircle.com email address.
SSOCircle has started a pilot to support OpenID. You can now use your SSOCircle account at OpenID relying parties. Just type in <yourSSOCircleID>.ssocircle.com as your personal OpenID URL at the service site and experience SSO that opens up the SAML and the OpenID world.
User self administration pages now provide functionality for displaying and managing own profiles, SAML 2.0 account federations and OpenID trust settings.
Service Provider administrators now have an easy-to-use interface to import, list and remove SAML 2.0 Metadata.
A new demo was launched at SSOCircle. The service provider has its own local user database and you can follow the steps from creating a local account to the linking of that account to your account at SSOCircle. The SP is based on lightbulb ( a OpenSSO extension ) and is written in “pure php”. From download.saml2.com it is available in preconfigured source.
You can now download a sample SAML 2.0 service provider and install it in your web server. The sample is a static linked C executable which is preconfigured to use SSOCircle as an IDP. You just need a few steps to adopt it to your site. The steps are outlined in solutions.
The download service provider is another sample how federation can ease deployments – and last but not least the download service provider is implemented in PERL leveraging the multi language support of ZXID.
SSOCircle offers a SAML 2.0 Identity Provider which allows everyone to join as a user or integrate as a Service Provider and participate in the SSOCircle.
