Sun’s OpenOffice.org, Solaris 10 Considered Significant
A special eWEEK report names the products, applications, and technologies of the last decade that have changed the way people work, play, and live. Limiting the list to 25 of the most significant technologies and products, eWeek found OpenOffice.org and the Solaris 10 Operating System to be two important solutions making a mark in the last 10 years.
Interim Release of Sun OpenSSO Enterprise
Sun OpenSSO Express 8 is an interim release of Sun OpenSSO Enterprise. This release allows users to try out new features without having to wait for the next full OpenSSO Enterprise release. OpenSSO Express Build 8 is available with multiple new features, including one-time password capabilities, Fedlet support for .NET applications, MySQL user data store, Entitlements Service, task flow for federation with SalesForce.com, an administration console (beta), plus much more.
To Provide Mobile One-time Password, Fedlet Support for .NET and Rapid Salesforce.com Federation
OpenSSO is the only access control solution that includes access management, federation and secure Web services in a single product. OpenSSO Express Build 8.0 will provide mobile one-time password. This feature is expected to allow two-factor authentication out-of-the box without the need for a third party product, and OpenSSO Express 8.0 will be the first access management solution to do so. This new version, whose download is expected to be available soon, also includes Fedlet support for .NET applications and rapid salesforce.com federation.
