NEWS RELEASE
Cams 2.0 Web Single Sign-on
Access Management Solution Ships
San Diego, CA, April 14, 2004 - Cafésoft announced today
that it is now shipping the final 2.0 release of the Cafésoft
Access Management System (Cams). This new release of Cams
enables web single sign-on security across Apache, IIS, and J2EE
application servers such as BEA WebLogic, IBM WebSphere, JBoss,
Oracle 9iAS, and Tomcat. Cams is a secure, flexible, and affordable
web single sign-on software solution that centralizes web application
security control and management.
"The release of Cams 2.0 represents a significant milestone
for our company and customers," said Gary Gwin, Cafésoft
president and CEO. "The 2.0 release includes customer requested
features such as Cams policy server clustering, failover, and support
for more Cams web agents and user directories. Cams has many competitive
strengths upon which these new features build. For example, by stacking
Cams authentication modules, companies can easily configure authentication
across multiple user directories such as Active Directory and LDAP
servers."
Cams makes sites more secure and manageable by centralizing application
security decisions, enforcement, and management, rather than implementing
security within each web application or 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 for business enabling web projects.
Cams also provides web single sign-on to eliminate the cost, risk,
and pain associated with multiple user accounts and sign-ons for
the same site.
The Cams service oriented architecture deploys into heterogeneous
environments with an architecture that scales for high-volume sites.
Additional Cams policy server nodes can be added to a Cams policy
server cluster at any time to scale with a growing load. The lightweight,
Java-based Cams policy server can also be embedded into ISV application
environments and requires inexpensive blade server hardware. Cams
provides user directory integration with industry-standard LDAP
and SQL databases, including Microsoft Active Directory and LDAP
v3 compliant servers. Other product features include:
- Web single sign-on to web resources on web and J2EE application
servers
- Access control based on roles (RBAC), date/time, location, and
custom/business rules
- Simplified and centralized security policy administration
- Security event logging, analysis, and real-time notification
- Flexible customizations via open APIs
- Cross-platform support including Windows NT/2000/2003, Linux/UNIX,
and Solaris
"We created Cams to help application developers implement
fine-grained web application 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 Apache and the Tomcat
J2EE web server can share security configurations and provide single
sign-on. An open API also empowers developers to use any user/password
repository for authentication, create custom access control rules
that match business policy, and trigger business processes from
security events."
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 application security in general. Cams software licenses
are available starting at $2,995. Evaluation licenses, which include
access to the production Cams policy server and Cams web agents,
