Oasis Gives SAML 1.0 a Thumbs-Up

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the new-internet-order dept.

Anonymous Custard writes "Oasis has approved the SAML 1.0 specification. From Infoworld: 'Members of the Oasis interoperability consortium approved the Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) on Wednesday as an OASIS open standard. The move paves the way for the XML-based framework to enable secure SSO (single sign-on) and other security functions for Web services transactions spanning multiple hosted sites.' I feel more secure already!"

    MSXML
    SunXML
    IBMXML
    are all just XML parsers, all parse 100% pure XML and all produce 100% pure XML.
    XML is (in slashdotarian),
    thou shall use tags, like so <biggles>
    thou shall always close a started tag, like so </biggles>
    thou shall use DTD's

    People can then use XML to make standards based on that, and as long as the DTD/Scheame and notes on the DTD are aviable anything with an XML parse can use it.

    The W3C announces the new "CONVERT everything to XML guidebook", including new XML underwear, a revised XSLT super hero, an XML car that drives you to any XPATH, XSD-SCHEMA based twinkies, and of course still supporting the girlfriend that doesn't answer any XML-QUERIES.

  6. Make Oasis Open Source! by Lieutenant_Dan · · Score: 2, Funny

    I think it's great that Noel has decided to venture into the computer informatics field. He can leverage off the vast experience of the Open Source developer community to craft his new offering. With their sheer brilliance, the Open Source developer community can overcome most obstacles within a matter of hours.

    Only when we realize the massive potential of Open Source, can we repair the weak Gaussian Blur filters in Photoshop.

    can some one give me a simple explaination?

    Dr. Hibbert: Homer, I'm afraid you'll have to undergo a coronary bypass operation.
    Homer: Say it in English, Doc.
    Dr. Hibbert: You're going to need open-heart surgery.
    Homer: Spare me your medical mumbo-jumbo.
    Dr. Hibbert: We're going to cut you open and tinker with your ticker.
    Homer: Could you dumb it down a shade?
