Gluu will demonstrate at O'Reilly OSCON how their Gluu Server deployment on Ubuntu using Juju orchestration can provide single sign-on and centralized API access management across applications. Using Juju, organizations can rapidly deploy an access management infrastructure and connect applications following the Juju Application Security Protocol (JASP). The demo will also show how mobile apps can access distributed APIs through the central security solution instantly by connecting in Juju. Gluu believes Juju can significantly reduce the costs of deploying, configuring, and integrating open source software in modern cloud environments.

1. Gluu announced today that it will demo an Ubuntu Juju-based deployment of the
Gluu Server Community Edition at O’Reilly OSCON, the annual Open Source
Conference for open source developers. The demo will show access control for both
web and mobile applications using guidelines developed under the Juju Application
Security Protocol (JASP), a set of vendor agnostic interfaces to enable Single Sign-
ON (SSO) and centralized API access management seamlessly across open source
and federation saml.
Using Juju orchestration, organizations can rapidly deploy an access management
infrastructure and connect any JASP compliant applications. In the past, SSO was a
complicated system integration project. With Juju, it can be completed in seconds.
The demo will also showcase the security solution for mobile applications accessing
distributed API’s. Simply by drawing an arrow on the Juju canvas, a non-Web
application can instantly use the central security infrastructure. Gluu will show how
to control SSH access to a server using a JASP-enabled Linux Pluggable
Authentication Mechanism (PAM).

2. “We’re excited to introduce to developers at OSCON 2014 the Gluu Server Juju Charm and
the application security protocol we’ve been working on with Canonical, Forge Rock and
others,” said Gluu CEO Mike Schwartz. “With Juju, we can significantly drive down the
cost of deploying, configuring and integrating open source software in a modern cloud
environment. JASP leverages three important new JSON/REST protocols: OpenID
Connect, SCIM and UMA. With these protocols, we can make it easy for application
developers to build more secure and more convenient Internet security into their
applications.”
“Juju is already saving organizations time by enabling rapid deployment, integration and
scaling of sophisticated applications across a number of different platforms,” said
Maarten Ectors, Cloud Strategy Director at Canonical. “The demo at OSCON will display
in realtime how organizations can design and deploy an enterprise-grade open source
access management infrastructure, while saving the time, cost and headaches typically
associated with production-level open source deployments.”
“As smart devices and the Internet of Things continue to drive developer requirements,
open source access management solutions are more important than ever,” said Ectors.
“Better orchestration of SSO and API access management addresses one of the most
significant challenges of application security: deploy ability across a large number of
diverse enterprise applications.”

booth number is P8.
About Gluu:
Gluu is an Austin, TX service provider whose open source authentication and API
access management stack, called the Gluu Server, helps companies secure Web and
mobile applications. The Gluu Server leverages standards such as OAuth2, OpenID
Connect, UMA, SAML 2.0, and SCIM to enable federated single sign-on server (SSO)
and trust elevation. The Gluu Server is used by universities, government agencies,
and companies to secure employee facing and consumer network services.
About Canonical:
Canonical is the company behind Ubuntu – the dominant operating system on the
cloud – Ubuntu Open Stack – the most widely deployed Open Stack – Juju – the award
winning open source cloud orchestration solution – and MAAS – open source bare-
metal provisioning and management of physical hardware via cloud APIs. We believe
in the power of open source to change the world.
