Provides SharePoint Server Users Secure Internet Single Sign-On Based on SAML and WS-Federation

SAN FRANCISCO -- Ping Identity Corporation today announced that the PingFederate Integration Kit for Microsoft([R]) Office SharePoint([R]) Server 2007 and Microsoft Office SharePoint Portal Server 2003 is now available for download from www.pingidentity.com. When used with award-winning PingFederate, this new kit provides Office SharePoint Server 2007 and SharePoint Portal Server 2003 users with secure Internet single sign-on that is based on the SAML and WS-Federation federated identity standards.

Microsoft's SharePoint Products and Technologies act as the centerpiece for collaboration inside and outside growing numbers of organizations. Until now, these organizations have had limited options for offering external partners secure access to content on internal SharePoint Servers. PingFederate gives SharePoint Server 2007 and SharePoint Portal Server 2003 Administrators a new option: secure, standards-based single sign-on that not only works for SharePoint Products and Technologies, but also numerous other application and identity management environments. Furthermore, administrators can federate their SharePoint Server 2007 and SharePoint Portal Server 2003 applications with any partner that is SAML or WS-Federation-enabled.

"PingFederate enables companies to gain more out of their investment in SharePoint Products and Technologies. The combined solution increases the number of external users that can now have access to SharePoint content from the hosted enterprise." Seth Patton, Director of SharePoint Products and Technologies at Microsoft.

"Secure SSO to Sharepoint Servers has been one of the most requested use case by our customers and prospects. This new product unlocks the true potential of SharePoint Products and Technologies outside the enterprise." Andre Durand, CEO, Ping Identity.
