PingFederate 4.4 Now Available

PingFederate 4.4 is available for immediate download. Continuing Ping Identity’s initiative to meet the unique cross-domain credentialing and federated identity needs of government agencies, this release is anticipated to be certified for use within the upcoming Version 2.0 of the US General Services Administration E-Authentication Initiative. For more information on the E-Authentication Initiative, go to http://cio.gov/eauthentication.

New features with this release include:

• Attribute Value Transformations – PingFederate supports an expressive and flexible syntax to transform attribute values. The transformation expressions (which can be simple to highly elaborate) are created, tested and validated within the administrative console prior to deployment.

• Multiple Network Interface Support – In complex data center environments where servers contain multiple network interfaces, customers may require that particular types of traffic, such as partner, administration and cluster messages, be routed to explicit interfaces. PingFederate supports the ability to listen for specific traffic on multiple interfaces, which increases server security and prevents administration tasks from competing with partner requests over the same network.

• Signed Metadata File Support – Metadata files are used to rapidly configure federation partner connections. In addition to unsigned files, signed metadata files may be imported into and generated by PingFederate. When a signed metadata file contains an invalid signature, PingFederate prevents its importation.

• Certificate Revocation List (CRL) Enforcement – When a partner certificate for signature verification, SSL, or encryption contains a reference to a CRL distribution point from a trusted Certificate Authority, PingFederate verifies that the certificate has not been revoked and prevents its use if it has been invalidated.

• Improved Administrative Interface – Changes have been made to the Main Menu and Local Settings views in the administrative console that improve usability and reduce post-installation work. The Main Menu utilizes a more intuitive layout that clearly separates Identity Provider and Service Provider roles as well as general server-wide settings.

• SOAP Binding – PingFederate supports the SAML 2.0 SOAP binding, which enhances interoperability and benefits customers who implement custom integrations.
