Rolecall 1.0 Released: Identity management framework
Rolecall is an identity management framework that provides Single Sign-On (SSO) support to both J2EE and .NET applications. Rolecall focuses on simplicity of design and use, forsaking esoteric features that add undue complexity. As a result, you can integrate Rolecall into your existing applications with minimal effort. Our own infrastructure uses Rolecall to integrate Simplicis, Jive, JIRA, and Confluence. One set of authentication credentials provides access to all of these tools.
Online Download
Rolecall is available for download in two different formats, standalone and a WAR distribution. We recommend you download the Standalone version for evaluation purposes, this version will allow you to get up and running with the least amount of effort.
You can download Rolecall at http://www.valtira.com/page/rolecall.jsp.
Features
Rolecall provides single sign-on capabilities to environments with multiple web applications so that users need to login just once to access all your web applications. You can even configure Rolecall to use your existing Active Directory, Novell NDS, LDAP server or custome user store so that your web applications share login credentials with your existing security infrastructure.
* Group based Principal and Application management.
* External Principal and Group management support.
* Clean, powerful and easy-to-use web-based interface for user account and access administration.
* Email notifications to users of account changes.
* Supports application-layer security restrictions for Principal management.
* Pre-built J2EE integration libraries.

support for identity federation?
Does this framework support an SSO with federated identities? Another words, can a user authenticate with an identity provider at security domain A and access a service from a resource provider at security domain B?

support for identity federation?
By identity federation is you mean cross-domain single sign-on yes. If the application that resides outside of the domain that issues the token key what the value is, it can lookup the principal based on the token and validate their authentication based on the validation factors (browser agent, remote IP, etc).

By identity federation is you mean cross-domain single sign-on yes. Is your cross-domain SSO compliant with either Liberty Alliance or WS-Federation specifications?
