Hi All,
 
    We are glad to announce that a timed version was released for PicketBox 5.0.0 (version 5.0.0-2012Aug24).
 
        https://docs.jboss.org/author/display/SECURITY/Timed+Release+2012-Aug-24
 
    PicketBox is a project that works wonders for application security. Here are some highlights:
 
        - You can use it as a standalone API for pure JavaSE applications or in a JavaEE environment as well.
        - Decouple applications from security code.
        - Choice of HTTP Authentication Schemes (BASIC, DIGEST, FORM, CLIENT-CERT or you write your own authentication scheme).
        - Choice of Authentication Managers or Stores. (File Based, Ldap Based, Database Based etc)
        - Choice of Authorization Managers.  (Drools based authorization, XACML based authorization, Deltaspike Security based authorization or write your own authorization mechanism).
        - Application Session Management.
        - JSON security.
        - Integration code for Solder, DeltaSpike and CDI applications.
        - and more ...
 
    Please refer to the documentation at https://docs.jboss.org/author/display/SECURITY/Java+Application+Security.
