New Fine-Grained Entitlement Enforcement Engine and Directory Proxy Server
Added to Sun’s Identity Management Portfolio
Sun announced the availability of a new, fine-grained entitlement enforcement engine as part of OpenSSO Express 9, and a next-generation directory proxy server as part of Sun OpenDS Standard Edition 2.2. The entitlement enforcement engine supports enterprise deployments and provides mass-scale extranet deployments with a complete off-the-shelf, standards-based solution that can externalize authorization for more than 100 million users. The new directory proxy server proactively maintains up-time as activity increases with a “global index” to help easily distribute and balance loads - based on factors such as any identity attribute or based on a traffic distribution algorithms.
