Good evening to everyone. The Hurderos Project released version 0.1.2 of its Open-Source enterprise identity, services and authorization management solution on October 6th, 2004. Source and binaries are available at the following locations:
Source: ftp://ftp.hurderos.org/pub/Hurderos/src Binaries: ftp://ftp.hurderos.org/pub/Hurderos/binaries Significant changes between the 0.1.1 and 0.1.2 release are noted below. The web site has also been updated, most significantly, with a Hurderos Project FAQ and the beginning of a roadmap for future development. The project site can be found at the following location: http://www.hurderos.org The goal of the Hurderos Project is to move Open-Source enterprise solutions upward in the technology stack by providing a truely open-architecture and open-source solution for identity management and service provisioning. While major commercial Linux players either own or are investing in directory service solutions there is no open-source product which integrates all the disparate technologies needed for a complete and integrated enterprise information management solution. The identity based authorization scheme used by Hurderos provides an open-architecture replacement for the proprietary scheme used in products such as Active Directory. The project web-site has additional details on strategies for the upcoming release which will build a feature enhanced version of the MIT Key Distribution Center/Administrative server using the Hurderos authorization technology. Due to the complexity of the underlying technologies the next pair of releases will also focus on providing an integrated build and installation process for MIT Kerberos, OpenLDAP and the Hurderos management system, graphical interface, support tools and software API's. The goal of these enhancements will be to reduce the barrier for organizations which desire to implement a comprehensive and complete Open-Source identity, services and system management architecture. Significant changes from 0.1.1 -> 0.1.2: * Validated against Postgres 7.4.3 * Fixed client side GSSAPI name creation. Connections now work to foreign hosts. * Removed commented instances of ISMEcom constructor calls. These had been commented when ISMEcom was updated to support secured communication contexts. * Dropped crufty unused Java code. * Cleaned out references to deprecated Java methods. * Updated build process to use MIT Kerberos 1.3.5. * Implemented new Property display widget for identity elements. * Login screen acquires Kerberos credentials if administrator identity and password is specified. * isme invocation wrapper uses Postgresql jar file found in $prefix/lib if available.
