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.
