Gluu releases OX 1.1 to enhance features for
electronic identity enrollment

• Gluu announced today that version 1.1 of its open
  source OX project, which provides an OAuth2
  compliant OpenID Connect provider (OP), UMA
  authorization server (AS), OpenID Connect and UMA
  client code, and an administrative web
  application, is now available on GitHub.
•  
• The newest version of code includes new features
  that enable an organization to publish invitation
  codes to restrict or organize public
  registrations. It also enables a person to use a
  social or mobile identity as their preferred user
  credentials, or even to use SAML to connect to an
  enterprise identity service like Microsoft
  Federated Sso.
• There is a new opportunity for organizations to
  perform high level of assurance enrollments
  online, said Gluu CEO Mike Schwartz. At
  enrollment time, if you can validate a persons
  identity at a reliable IDP SAML, or even Google,
  its a very handy credential. However, I still
  advise organizations to enroll other identifying
  information, such as a phone number or mobile
  device identifier, so that if the IDP
  relationship is broken, you can still identify
  the person, and grant them access to their
  content.

With this new release, OX can now handle some
pretty complex enrollment processes, and enable
organizations to include custom business logic
pre and post-registration.   As part of the OX
1.1 Core release, Gluu also introduced a new SAML
Java library. This library enables a Java
application to authenticate a person using ADFS
or any other compliant SAML Identity Provider
(IDP) that supports cryptographic response
signing only. In addition to the Shibboleth SAML
Service Provider (SP), or the Asimba SAML Proxy,
this OX java library adds to the supported SAML
SP options available to application developers
using the Gluu Server as their IDP.   About

sign-on (SSO) and trust elevation. The Gluu
