Gluu provides design, build, and operational services to organizations that want to deploy OX for mission critical authentication and authorization.

1. GLUU ADDS ASIMBA SAML PLATFORM TO GLUU SERVER STACK
Gluu announced today that new deployments of the Gluu Server will include the
open source Asimba SAML platform. Gluu’s main use case for Asimba is to enable
websites to use a single IDP for SSO, even when the organization may have a
number of IDPs that are trusted.
“Our main goal was to simplify single sign-on configuration for websites and SaaS
applications” said Gluu CEO Mike Schwartz. “In many organizations, the list of
which organizations are trusted, and what type of technology infrastructure they
use, is too complex for website developers to track. The Asimba SAML proxy
drives down the cost of SSO integrations by enabling an internal web site or SaaS
application to point to a single SAML IDP.”
Asimba has additional functionality which may be incorporated into the Gluu
Server in the future. Asimba has hooks for authorization, enabling the
enforcement of rules that define who can access which websites based on user
claims, OAuth2 scopes, or context (for example geo-location and time of day).

2. “We are very happy to see the Asimba server get additional distribution and use,” said
Mark Dobrinic, one of the lead developers of Asimba. “Open source software for
security is a requirement for many organizations, and will help enable a safer Internet
for everyone. This is especially true for high quality tooling in the field of Identity and
Access Management, that is an enabler for new and innovative services to build on.”
About Gluu:
Gluu provides build, operate, and transfer services to organizations that want to deploy
the Gluu Server stack for single sign-on, strong authentication, and web access
management. A subscription to Gluu Server Operate, Gluu’s flagship service, enables an
organization to quickly deploy and more easily operate one or more Gluu Server
instances for their Internet domain, on the IAAS platform of their choice, to enable
centralized authentication and access management.
About Asimba:
Asimba is the successor of OpenASelect, a flexible and modular Access Management
and Single Sign On application. The application exists of a framework for
authentication and authorization, that enables many features and options to create
custom extensions. More information on www.asimba.org.

3. Sprint could support standard API’s for authentication and authorization, and
enable an ecosystem of partners to authenticate Sprint customers via Internet
standard API.
How is this better than Sprint’s current solution?
Supporting standards is important because we live in a world where there are
multiple consumer IDPs, and if a website needs a special API to use your IDP,
it will probably just not support you.
What is the cost of your solution?
Gluu sells support on its product. However, I think there might be some
sponsored co-development opportunities.
Who are some of your current customers?
Toshiba uses Gluu to deliver authentication for its Cloud TV Service in Japan
and Europe (and soon in the US). We have more than 20 university
customers, in addition to a number of large enterprise customers.

4. We also are designing an authentication/authorization platform for the State of
TX K-12 students, and a citizen authentication platform for the Philippines (90M
users). In the telecom industry, we worked with British Telecom on a multi-year
VOIP project, and have advised Rackspace on the design of their authentication
system.
Do you have any additional information or comments?
Please check the latest OpenID Connect test results. Look in the last column for
Gluu, and you can see that our server is currently the most comprehensive
implementation of an OpenID Connect Provider.
