[security-dev] [PicketLink IDM] - Timed Release 3.0-2012Dec14

[Pedro Igor Silva]

Hi All,

    Today we released a timed version for the PicketLink IDM project.

    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.picketlink</groupId>
	<artifactId>picketlink-core-api</artifactId>
        <version>3.0-2012Dec14</version>
    </dependency>

    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.picketlink</groupId>
        <artifactId>picketlink-idm-impl</artifactId>
        <version>3.0-2012Dec14</version>
    </dependency>

    This release does not have all features implemented, yet. The following list shows what is available so far:

        - User, Group and Role Management.
        - Query API for User, Groups and Roles.
        - Support for User-defined/custom attributes.
        - Relationships between User, Group and Role (eg.: "User has Role" and "User is the Manager of Group").
     
     All the items above are working with both JPA and LDAP Identity Stores.

     For more information about the API usage, I recommend to take a look at the test cases:

         - https://github.com/picketlink/picketlink/tree/v3.0-2012Dec14/idm/impl/src/test/java/org/picketlink/test/idm

     To run the tests, just use one of the provided test suites: JPAIdentityStoreTestSuite and LDAPIdentityStoreTestSuite.

     Next week we'll continue to work on the missing features and review/add the test cases. The documentation is being updated as weel:

Best Regards.
