[Unity-idm-discuss] The release 1.1.0 of Unity is out

[Krzysztof B. <go...@ic...>]

Dear All,

The version 1.1.0 of Unity was just released.

The release 1.1.0 brings a lot of improvements over 1.0.0, making it 
more production ready. The main theme of the release is the SAML 
support. The most important changes:

* A new remote authentication option was added: SAML 2 with support for 
both HTTP Redirect and POST bindings. When using this authenticator 
Unity acts as a SAML Service Provider.
* The SAML IdP endpoint supports now the SAML HTTP Redirect binding 
alongside with the previously supported POST binding.
* Both SAML Service Provider (of each configured remote SAML 
authenticator) and SAML IdP (of each deployed endpoint) can generate and 
publish SAML Metadata. Also publication and signing of a custom SAML 
Metadata is possible.
* A number of components were added to the Web Admin UI, which allow 
administrators to inspect the details of deployed endpoints, 
authenticators and translation profiles. It is also possible to reload 
all of them, without restarting the server, what is useful after 
configuration changes.
* A centralized PKI management was introduced. Credentials, certificates 
and truststores are configured in a single place. All relaying Unity 
components are configured with a reference of required PKI artifact only.

The 1.1.0 release was extensively and successfully tested against 
Shibboleth SP, Shibboleth IdP and SimpleSAMLPhp acting both as SP or IdP 
for Unity.
