Most origin configuration, -including signing credentials and identifiers, can be -overriden depending on the recipient of the assertions. - -Simplified application architecture. Both origins -and targets now reference each other using a single -identifier called a "provider id". - -The Attribute Authority can be configured to answer -requests with multiple SAML Subject formats, -increasing interoperability with other SAML-based -software. - -Signing credentials can now be loaded from a variety -of formats, including those commonly used with OpenSSL. - -The origin now validates all requests from 1.2+ targets -against federation metadata. - -Compatibility with 1.1 targets using a "legacy" or -"default" configuration. - -Separate logs are created for errors and transaction -auditing. - -Easier logging configuration. - -Support is included for pulling attribute data from SQL -databases using JDBC. The JDBC Data Connector includes -support for conection pooling and prepared statements. - -Mechanism for throttling requests to the Handle Service. -This improves performance by preventing the server from -becoming saturated with signing requests. Throttle can -be adjusted based for servers with more than two CPUs. - -Support for signatures on all SAML Assertions and -Responses, which allows for more interoperability -with other SAML-based software and profiles. - -Attribute Release Policies can contain match functions -on attribute values. This allows the release of specific -values based on regular expression. - -Support has been added to the Attribute Authority for -using alternate data connectors in the event of a -failure. - -The resolvertest program can now process and enforce -Attribute Release Policies. - -Updated library dependencies, including OpenSAML and XML -Security, with substantial performance improvements when -signing. - -Many important bug fixes - - -Target ------------------ - -New XML-based configuration system supporting runtime -adjustment of many settings and better integration with -supplemental configuration files - -Ability to partition deployment into "Applications" at the -vhost, path, or document level - -"Lazy" sessions allow applications to redirect browser -to initiate a session, allowing content to decide it -needs authentication or attributes at runtime - -Flexible support for multi-federation deployment, including -selection of credentials and authorities based on the request -and the origin site or federation - -Support for more types of key and certificate formats - -Improved pluggability for many aspects of system, including -access control modules - -Clearer trace logging and support for a transaction/audit log - -Pooling and caching of HTTP and TLS connections to origins - -Support for alternative SAML name formats for intra-enterprise -deployments and better interoperability with SAML products - -Support for tailoring attribute query behavior, particularly -non-fatal failure modes for intelligent applications prepared -to deal with missing information - -Updated library dependencies, including OpenSAML, Xerces parser, -XML Security, and support for all GCC 3.x compiler versions - -Support for Apache 2.0 as well as Apache 1.3 and IIS - -Many important bug fixes -- 1.7.10.4
