The DRAMA (Digital Repository Authorization Middleware Architecture) project has released an alpha version of its Fedora authentication code. DRAMA is part of the RAMP (Research Activityflow and Middleware Priorities Project) project.
Here’s an excerpt from the fedora-commons-users announcement about the release’s features:
- Federated authentication (using Shibboleth) for Fedora.
- Extended XACML engine support via the introduction of an XML database for storing and querying policies and XACML requests over web services.
- Re-factoring of Fedora XACML authorization into an interceptor layer which is separate from Fedora.
- A new web GUI for Fedora nicknamed "mura" (Note: that we will be changing the GUI name to a new one soon).
