<h1>WSO2 Identity Solution @wso2is_version@ Release Notes</h1>
-<h3>04 October, 2007</h3>
+<h3>11 December, 2007</h3>
-<p>WSO2 Identity Solution provides following components to enable CardSpace
-authentication for web applications.</p>
+<p>The WSO2 IS enables LAMP and Java websites to provide strong authentication
+based on the new interoperable Microsoft CardSpace technology, which is built
+on the open standards Security Assertion Mark-up Language (SAML) and WS-Trust.
+WSO2’s new open source security offering features an easy-to-use Identity
+Provider that is controlled by a simple Web-based management console and
+supports interoperability with multiple vendors’ CardSpace components,
including
+those provided by Microsoft .NET. The WSO2 Identity Solution also works with
+enterprises’ current identity directories, such as those based on the
Lightweight
+Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) and Microsoft Active Directory, allowing them
+to leverage their existing infrastructure. In addition to the Identity Provider
+WSO2 Identity Solution provides a Relying Party Component Set which plugs into
+the most common web servers to add support for CardSpace authentication.</p>
-<ul>
-
-<li>An Identity Provider</li>
-The identity provider includes an application to issue informaiton cards and
-a security token service. Security token service can be deployed to issue
tokens
-to trusted users. An identity selector will obtain tokens from the Identity
-Provider and authenticate the users to a Web applications with those tokens.
-
-<li>A set of Relying Party components</li>
-
-Relying party components include an Apache HTTPD module and a Servlet
-filter. The HTTPD module can be used with any Web application that is hosted
-with Apache HTTPD irrespective of the implementation language. The Servlet
-filter component is intended for Java based Web containers.
