h2. Release 1.3

{color:#333333}What's new in the release?{color}

{color:#333333}\- Support for external Identity Providers (for example allowing login over Google){color}
{color:#333333}\- Support for SAML (exchange of attributes during login){color}
{color:#333333}\- Support for OAuth2 standard (securing API with OAuth tokes between the component calls){color}
{color:#333333}\- Authorization Server (fine grained control of token usage for the users and administrators){color}
{color:#333333}\- Dynamic-CA (for temporary services such as software defined networks SDNs for applications){color}
{color:#333333}\- Bug fixes of existing components{color}

{color:#333333}The release is made for the security enthusiasts who wish to know more about securing the access to a federated cloud infrastructure. The focus of this release is to provide the building blocks that will enable fine-grained security and which will be used in the final release of the Contrail platform. We demonstrate the usage of external Identity Providers with a Single Sign On (SSO) feature and the usage of OAuth tokens as a basis for next release. The detailed description about what new security components can provide can be found at \[S1\], \[S2\] and \[S3\] wiki pages, while \[OauthDemo\] link provides a quick overview of OAuth functionality. \[PortalDemo\] demonstrates how to use IdPs and SSO.{color}

{color:#333333}Release R1.3 builds upon a previous release which introduced:{color}
{color:#333333}\- SLA Manager on the provider level,{color}
{color:#333333}\- Virtual Infrastructure Network (VIN),{color}
{color:#333333}\- Federation updates to reflect additional functionality (SLA and VIN support){color}
{color:#333333}\- Updates have been made to the security part as well, adding basic OAuth 2.0 functionality.{color}

{color:#333333}Contrail previous releases allow a cloud administrator to offer basic SLA functionalities at the provider level on top of the deployment of applications on a data center. Virtual networks are also possible with proper OVFs.{color}
{color:#333333}This release of the Contrail software stack only indicates some basic workflow of SLA passing between the federation and the provider. {color}
