Microsoft previews Web services pack
WSE 3.0 features security profiles, interoperability with Indigo
Microsoft (Profile, Products, Articles) reports it has had approximately 15,000 downloads of an early version of its WSE (Web Services Enhancements) 3.0 package, which features turnkey security profiles and interoperability with the company’s upcoming Indigo Web services deployment technology.
A Community Technology Preview of WSE 3.0 was released last week as a precursor to a formal beta version due this summer and a general release due by the end of the year. “It allows people to get access to the bits early, to be able to see what is coming down the pipeline,” and provide feedback, said Rebecca Dias, Web services group product manager at Microsoft.
Serving as an add-on to the .Net Framework for application deployment on Windows, WSE is focused on providing security to Web services solutions, Dias said. Version 3.0 features turnkey security profiles for implementing security technologies such as Kerberos, X.509, and security context tokens, Dias said. The profiles save developers from hand-coding, she said.
