Products: ActiveShareFS 2007 Standard

Federated Single Sign-On Solution for Microsoft SharePoint 2007!

ActiveShareFS 2007 (or ActiveShare Federation Service 2007 or ASFS 2007) is a Microsoft ASP.NET compliant drop-in software solution for enabling secure single sign-on and automated account provisioning in existing Microsoft SharePoint 2007 server. ActiveShareFS 2007 uses open standards such as Shibboleth and SAML for achieving single sign-on access. SAML is the security assertion markup language.

ActiveShareFS 2007 provides secure external user authentication in Microsoft SharePoint 2007 using Shibboleth and SAML standards. In addition, ActiveShareFS provisions authenticated users from trusted partner institutions automatically into SharePoint based on configured business rules for access. As a result, only trusted users from trusted partner organizations are provisioned and given appropriate level of access to secure parts of the SharePoint server.

ActiveShareFS is deployed worldwide in higher education, government, healthcare, energy, defense, homeland security and commercial markets helping customers achieve maximum returns on their Microsoft SharePoint 2007 investments.

ActiveShareFS 2007 uses Shibboleth as a custom provider for authentication and provides access control within SharePoint based on user attributes such as Roles, Usernames, Entitlements and other SAML user attributes.

Trusted users from remote Shibboleth or SAML Identity Providers are automatically provisioned into SharePoint 2007 server based on configured business rules for access. Using ActiveShareFS 2007, access in SharePoint can be provided based on username, full name, role, affiliation, or other user attributes.

One reason ActiveShareFS solution is so popular is that, no software programming is required for integration with existing Microsoft SharePoint 2007. Just install and configure the ActiveShareFS software and you are ready to go!!
