  1. Gluu and Shibboleth Consortium finalize partnership; offer Universities an easy way to contribute Gluu Inc., a leader in open source cloud identity, today announced a strategic partnership with the Shibboleth Consortium to help fund continuing development and marketing of Shibboleth open source wam software. The partnership agreement will add a suggested donation of $1,200 to the sale of all Gluu EDU Servers. “Shibboleth provides one of the most advanced SAML platforms on the market, and it’s in production at thousands of universities and public institutions. When we heard the consortium needed additional funding to continue development, we wanted to help,” said Gluu CEO, Michael Schwartz. “No other SAML platform supports the multi-party federation or granular attribute release policies that Gluu’s customers expect. Many existing business relationships have been implemented using SAML. Despite newer standards, SAML will be with us for a long time, and its important that we help fund one of the most important global open source SAML projects.” This funding will help ensure that the Shibboleth development team is engaged to address any identified security vulnerabilities. Another effort is to support adoption of the technology by offering services that help organizations test their SAML service.

  2. The Shibboleth Foundation hosts a reliable web service to enable institutions and websites to test SAML entities before deploying in a production environment. 5,800 organizations have registered to use this service since 2006. “In order to continue our important work, we needed to increase the number of funded developer hours for the project,” said Nicole Harris, Shibboleth Consortium Manager. “We appreciate Gluu answering the call for assistance. We are encouraged that new open source business models are emerging to help align the Foundation’s funding of Shibboleth in the identity software market. We are also excited to spread the word about platforms like Gluu which use Shibboleth to provide more options to organizations that want to launch a SAML identity federation service to manage trust with their partners.”
