5.2. PicketLink Federation

This release includes PicketLink Federation as a Technology Preview.

Technology Preview features are not fully supported under Red Hat subscription level agreements (SLAs), may not be functionally complete, and are not intended for production use. These features provide early access to upcoming product innovations, enabling customers to test functionality and provide feedback during the development process. As Red Hat considers making future iterations of Technology Preview features generally available, we provide commercially reasonable efforts to resolve any reported issues that customers experience when using these features.

PicketLink Federation brings Identity Federation and Single Sign-on to the Platform, with support for SAML 2.0, WS-Trust 1.3, XACML 2.0 (via JBossXACML), and OpenID 1.1 and 2.0.

To install PicketLink, use either the ZIP install method or the Graphical install method. The PicketLink Technology Preview is not available in the RPM install method.
