Release 2.2 Suissazee
July 1, 2010
And once more we’ve updated Amazee. This release was all about the new authentication method SuisseID.
SuisseID is the first standardized electronic proof of identity in Switzerland, so it allows us to identify the users by their SuisseID Certificate.
We implemented the SuisseID just like the FacebookConnect or the OpenID, as a SingleSignOn Service, where a SuisseID User can easily login into his Amazee Account without an additional password.
Unfortunately the different SuisseID Providers only provide a SAML Interface, and there is only an SDK for Java and .NET provided.Because of this we created a partnership with Clavid. The company is specialized in different Login Methods and strong Authentication, so they programmed an oAuth interface for SuisseID, which we are using.
In the same step we finished our Drupal oAuth module, so this means we can implement other oAuth providers quicker in the future, or even be a provider ourselves.
But the SuisseID Login was not the only improvement we have done.
As usual, we did some bug fixes an style mprovements, also there are now more caching features implemented, so the Amazee site is now a bit faster.
In the next release we will focus totally on performance, there will be no new features, instead only speed improvements and more cache features.
So stay tuned for a faster Amazee!
If you have any questions or ideas, please write us a mail to support@amazee.com

Go for High Speed!!!!

It’s weird that there was no oAuth module provided by the SuisseID Guys, I mean it’s probably the simplest way a service can authenticate a user.
