NEWS RELEASE
Web Single Sign-on between Microsoft IIS,
Apache, and J2EE Now Available
San Diego, CA, September 18, 2003 - Cafésoft announced today
that it is now shipping Cams web single sign-on support for
Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS). The new Cams IIS web
agent enables web single sign-on between IIS and other web and J2EE
servers supported by Cams, such as Apache, BEA WebLogic, JBoss,
Oracle 9iAS, and Tomcat. Cams is a web single sign-on and access
control software solution that centralizes web security management.
"Now sites using Microsoft IIS can get to market faster and
more affordably with a world-class web application security solution,"
said Gary Gwin, Cafésoft president and CEO. "Many IIS
sites use Apache and J2EE servers such as Tomcat and BEA WebLogic.
With Cams you centralize security management in these heterogeneous
environments. Even if you use only IIS, Cams provides web single
sign-on and many other features that make it advantageous to use
such as support for MS-SQL, Active Directory, and LDAP user directories
."
Cams makes sites more secure and manageable by centralizing application
security enforcement and management, rather than implementing security
into each application and server. This centralized approach to web
security enables companies to reduce development and administration
complexity and costs, while improving time to market, security,
and user satisfaction. Cams also provides web single sign-on eliminating
the cost, vulnerabilities, and pain associated with multiple identities
and logins when a user moves between web applications and servers
on the same site.
Cams service oriented architecture deploys into heterogeneous environments
and scales for high-volume sites. Cams provides user directory integration
with industry-standard LDAP and SQL databases, including Microsoft
SQL Server, Microsoft Active Directory, and Microsoft SiteServer
LDAP. Primary product features include:
- Web single sign-on to multiple web applications and servers
- Access control based on roles (RBAC), date/time, location, and
custom rules
- Centralized application security policy management and event
logging
- Flexible extension via open APIs (including integration into
third-party software)
- Cross-platform support including Windows NT/2000/2003, Linux/UNIX,
and Solaris
"We created Cams to help application developers implement
fine-grained web security without embedding authentication policy
or access control business rules into application code," said
Norbert Kuhnert, Cafésoft chief technology officer and founder.
"With Cams, environments like Microsoft IIS, Apache, and the
Tomcat J2EE web server share the same security configuration. An
open API also empowers developers to use any password database for
authentication, create custom access control rules that match business
policy, and trigger business processes from security events."
The Cams IIS web agent is available immediately for Microsoft Internet
Information Server 4, 5, and 6 on Windows NT, 2000, and 2003. A
free Cams Tour download is available on Cafésoft's web site
at http://www.cafesoft.com.
The Cams Tour is the best way to learn about Cams terminology, architecture,
and web security in general. Cams web security system licenses are
available starting at $2,995 per server with free developer licenses.
Evaluation Cams licenses, which provide access to the Cams IIS web
agent, are available upon request.
