| Now Available: PingLogin 2 Apache
Agent |
The
PingLogin 2 Apache Agent is now available for download.
A PingLogin agent isolates an application that it
protects from making or enforcing either session
security or authentication policy decisions for that
application, ensuring that access is granted to the
applications only after an authenticated session has
been established. The PingLogin 2 Apache Agent protects
applications running on an Apache server.

| Dependent vs. Independent Identity |
Our CEO,
Andre Durand, recently blogged
about this topic:
Dependent Identity –
Within the enterprise, your 'identity' is wholly
dependent upon your employment. Your role, your access
and your rights are dictated by your employer–it's
dependent upon your relationship with that entity. The
company doesn't own you or your identity, but they do
own your employee identity which enables you to perform
your job while on their networks.
Independent
Identity – As this term implies, your identity is
independent of anyone else. An independent identity is
YOUR identity, which you should rightfully control and
use to your benefit. This identity transcends any one
particular silo of interaction, or your current
employer, much the same way your Gmail or Yahoo email
account transcends your corporate email address.
Independent identity is neither better than
dependent identity, nor more morally significant; it's
simply different as it serves the individual first and
foremost, and the individual's desire for privacy,
security and control, the same way an enterprise seeks
to control, protect and secure its assets.
Independent identity is the same as user-centric
identity, but with one important exception: It
recognizes—not chastises—the value and importance of
dependent identity.
