It's a New Era for Identity Federation

Dear Colleague,

We're picking up the pace here at Ping Identity. To welcome in 2008, we just released PingFederate® 5.0 (download it today), our most significant contribution to secure Internet single sign-on to date! With the addition of Auto-Connect, we now have the industry's fastest federation capabilities. Establish secure SAML connections in minutes in what would have taken months with competitive products.

Connection Deployment Time

 
We're also planning another first, the Single Sign-On Summit in July. We're putting the spotlight on identity management's most coveted use case: single sign-on (SSO). Stay tuned.

And to close out a great 2007, we surpassed the 150 customer mark! Special thanks goes out to all of our new and existing customers who helped make 2007 a great year!

Check Out PingFederate 5.0
If you have not downloaded PingFederate 5.0 yet, what are you waiting for? PingFederate 5.0 is the most significant release to date of our rapidly deployable identity federation software. Auto-Connect, a new feature in PingFederate 5.0, automatically establishes SAML connections for secure Internet single sign-on (SSO) in seconds versus the weeks or months it often takes with other products. It eliminates the manual tasks that previously had to be performed by administrators to configure SAML connections, such as the exchange of certificates and configuration data.

PingFederate 5.0 also includes new clustering capabilities, data center support as well as many new additional integration kits to make secure Internet single sign-on easier than ever. PingFederate 5.0 is now available for download from www.pingidentity.com.
