ENT News | at | by Mike
Microsoft today released the first beta of its federated identity services framework aimed at simplifying the way enterprises deploy authentication services.
The company's Geneva framework is aimed at bringing claims-based federated identity management that extends to individuals, enterprises and online services.
The framework allows organizations to deploy various standards-based identity protocols -- including SAML, WS-Federated, WS-Identity and OpenID -- and provides a common exchange across various gateways and security token services.
