The Security API track 1.2 - the basis for the WAS, WSS, and WSC.Web 1.2 versions - has finally been released one and a half years after the first release candidate. This 1.2 release "family" consolidates the development work of the past few years. The following features are now included in the applications and API. The Web Authentication Service - WAS 1.2 http://52north.org/maven/project-sites/security/was/1.2/index.html * now uses default values for empty or missing configuration parameters, * is based on the 52N Security API 1.2.0. The Web Security Service - WSS 1.2 http://52north.org/maven/project-sites/security/wss/1.2/index.html * now uses default values for empty or missing configuration parameters, * is based on the 52N Security API 1.2.0. WSC.Web 1.2 http://52north.org/maven/project-sites/security/wscweb/1.2/index.html * has undergone major changes to the underlying API, * is based on the 52N Security API 1.2.0. The Security API 1.2 http://52north.org/maven/project-sites/security/api/1.2/index.html * allows configuration files for WAS and WSS to work with default values for selected properties if they are missing, * provides a new PDP implementation (PermissionCollectionPDP). The community has decided to freeze development, aside from major bug fixes, in this track and to concentrate on developing the Security API 2.0.

This new development track contains major improvements concerning configuration and stability. The WAS 2.0, WSS 2.0, WSC.Web 2.0 - all based on the 2.0 API - are compatible on the service interface level with the 1.2 and older versions of the services, but the configuration format has changed. The most interesting new feature is the Web Security Service's "Multi-WSS" capability. It allows the user to protect more than one service with a single WSS instance. Other important changes and additions are as follows. Web Authentication Service - WAS 2.0 http://52north.org/maven/project-sites/security/was/2.0/index.html * no configuration is necessary, due to a new configuration management, * the WAS protocol was extended to provide for anonymous user login, * the login module interface is fully JAAS compliant, * it is based on the 52N Security API 2.0. Web Security Service - WSS 2.0 http://52north.org/maven/project-sites/security/wss/2.0/index.html * no configuration is necessary, due to a new configuration management, * the login module interface is fully JAAS compliant, * any number of services can be protect with one WSS instance * it is based on the 52N Security API 2.0. Web Security Client - WSC.Web 2.0 http://52north.org/maven/project-sites/security/wscweb/2.0/index.html * it now processes license preconditions presented by a license enabled WSS, * it is based on the 52N Security API 2.0. Security API 2.0 http://52north.org/maven/project-sites/security/api/2.0/index.html * it has a completely revamped configuration, * the authentication API is JAAS compliant, * the facade API is able to process license preconditions, * the new PDP implementation works with XACML based SOAP service, * it has an improved ticket evaluation, due to broadened period of validity for the SAML ticket, * the WSS is now able to embed license precondition information into the capabilities, * the WSS is able to protect multiple service instances, * it provides an additional web-based UI for WSS configuration using a browser. The community is currently working on the next releases - the work being driven by the community's OGC OWS-6 participation. As a result, development mainly focusses on new interfaces based on the Web Services Security SOAP standard (see http://oasis.org). The community is also intent upon improving the exisiting releases, particularly in regards to the usability. Thanks to all the developers for time spent on the work and their inspired work!
