Features

Among the many features of JBoss SSO include :

  • Interaction between applications and modules are based on industry standards such as Security Assertion Markup Language (or SAML).
  • A decentralized approach is used as compared to the more traditional hub and spoke method.
  • JBoss SSO is able to connect to different identity storage systems from different vendors through its versatile Identity Connector framework.
  • Interfaces seamlessly with other JBoss products such as JBoss Portal.
  • Separates between framework authentication and application authentication.

    • Components

    There are three main components of JBoss SSO:

  • Federation server, to securely propagate the security token among different security domains
  • Token marshalling framework, which serves to marshall the security token to and from. It is a pluggable Java API.
  • Identity connector framework, which connects to different identity storage systems. It is a pluggable Java API.
