Release Notes

Red Hat Single Sign-On 7.1

For Use with Red Hat Single Sign-On 7.1

Red Hat Customer Content Services

Abstract

These release notes contain important information related to Red Hat Single Sign-On 7.1

Chapter 1. Overview

The Red Hat Single Sign-On (RH-SSO) Server, based on the Keycloak project, enables you to secure your web applications by providing Web SSO capabilities based on popular standards such as SAML 2.0, OpenID Connect, and OAuth 2.0. The Server can act as a SAML or OpenID Connect–based identity provider (IdP), mediating with your enterprise user directory or third-party identity provider for identity information and your applications using standards-based tokens.

Chapter 2. Feature Overview

2.1. OpenID Connect Certification

The Keycloak version included in Red Hat Single Sign-On (RH-SSO) 7.1 conforms to the 5 OpenID Connect profiles: Basic, Implicit, Hybrid, Config, and Dynamic. Certification was achieved in Keycloak v2.3 (http://openid.net/certification/). Future RH-SSO 7.x versions will remain compatible with these profiles, unless documented otherwise.

2.2. Client adapter for Red Hat JBoss Fuse

RH-SSO 7.1 features a new client adapter for Red Hat JBoss Fuse, which enables securing of web application archives (WARs), servlets, Apache routes and Apache CXF endpoints deployed on JBoss Fuse, in both the Apache Karaf and Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (JBoss EAP).

2.3. Node.js client adapter

RH-SSO 7.1 includes a new Node.js client adapter, which enables use of RH-SSO 7.1 Server for authentication and web single sign-on for Node.js applications.

2.4. Externalized authorization service

RH-SSO 7.1 introduces a new authorization service feature-set, based on the User Managed Access (UMA) specification. This enables RH-SSO 7.1 Server to act as a Policy Administration Point (PAP), Policy Decision Point (PDP), or Policy Information Point (PIP), separating the authorization logic from the application.

2.5. User Storage SPI

RH-SSO 7.1 features a new User Storage SPI that you can use to implement your own custom user storage federation provider, such as a relational or NoSQL database, to enable federation of users from any user store.

2.6. SSSD integration

RH-SSO 7.1 adds an integration with System Security Services Daemon (SSSD) in Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 7.3. This enables use of SSSD as a user federation provider in front of a Microsoft Active Directory forest.

2.7. Client registration CLI

RH SSO 7.1 introduces a command-line interface (CLI) for developers to register client applications on RH-SSO Server.

2.8. RPM distribution

RH-SSO 7.1 introduces a new RPM distribution for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 and 7. The RH-SSO Server is provided in its own channel; the client adapters for JBoss EAP 6 and 7 are provided in their respective JBoss EAP x86_64 channels. The JBoss Fuse and Node.js client adapters are not available as RPMs.
