Hello,
Shreedhar kindly suggested to post our announcement to "theaquarium".
We would be very happy if this could be announced/posted somewhere so that
people are aware that security management is available for GlassFish now.
The entry (also posted on
http://wiki.glassfish.java.net/Wiki.jsp?page=ToolsIDEsEtc) is:
ObjectSecurity releases OpenPMF security management support for GlassFish
(Cambridge/UK - 01 August 2007, press release from 18 April 2007)
ObjectSecurity's OpenPMF security management framework has been integrated
with GlassFish. This way, central policy enforcement and monitoring is now
possible for GlassFish based web services (other web services are also
supported.
ObjectSecurity's Open Policy Management Framework (OpenPMFT) is a technology
framework for centralised security policy management and enforcement for
complex distributed systems. The main benefits are reduced complexity/cost,
and more effective security. It offers far better flexibility and
manageability than traditional federated identity and access solutions or
other current products in the market offer. A consistent security policy is
automatically generated using ObjectSecurity's SecureMDA model driven
security technology, and stored and graphically administered in a central,
meta-model based repository. Policies are automatically enforced through
local policy enforcement points (PEPs) on any networked system and
application. In addition, real-time security incident and compliance
monitoring can be done from the central console.
The new OpenPMF GlassFish v2 integration policy enforcement plug-in is built
using Java EE. It conforms to the Java Authorization Contract for Containers
(JACC) API developed by the Java Community Process (JCP) as an answer to the
JSR-115. The new OpenPMF SOA version works with GlassFish v2 and selected
Java EE 5 compliant application servers used to offer XML web services
across the internet. One particularly innovative feature of the new OpenPMF
plug-in is the tool-supported smart merging process of policies from OpenPMF
and Java EE deployment descriptors.
OpenPMF is currently provided as rental software, which makes it practically
as cost-effective and risk-free as open source with a support contract
subscription.
If you would like to know more about this, we invite you to visit our
website at www.openpmf.com or www.objectsecurity.com.
Thanks
Ulrich
