WSO2, the open source SOA company, has rolled out two new versions Governance Registry 3.0 and the Identity Server 2.0. Governance Registry is an open source product for governing SOA deployments and Identity Server is an open source identity and entitlement management server.
Both versions are based on WSO2 Carbon, a componentised SOA platform, which complies with OSGi specification.
According to WSO2, the Governance Registry 3.0 provides: service governance through discovery, impact analysis, versioning, and extraction of metadata; lifecycle management to migrate services from one stage to the next; federation to manage remote registries in a coordinated way; event and notification support enabled by the application of business rules; and governance dashboard which provides runtime and design time monitoring.
The Identity Server 2.0 features: WSO2 entitlement engine based on the OASIS eXtensible Access Control Markup Language (XACML) 2.0 for enhanced authorisation; claim-based security token service for mapping user attributes to defined claims; Multifactor authentication for OpenID based on the Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP) standard; and user profiles and profile configuration management component to add, modify and delete user profiles and profile management.
The Governance Registry and the Identity Server reportedly allow IT developers and administrators to manage people, processes and policies across their enterprise SOAs. Both modular products are based on the Carbon SOA platform and sit on the Carbon framework that provides all Carbon SOA components with management, security, clustering, logging, statistics, tracing, and a ‘Try-It’ wizard for testing services.
