Lasso Overview

==============

  Current homepage: <http://lasso.entrouvert.org>

Lasso (Liberty Alliance Single Sign-On) is a free (GNU GPL) implementation

of the Liberty Alliance specifications.  Those define processes for

federated identities, single sign-on and related protocols.  Lasso provides

both a C library and bindings for different languages.

  Liberty Alliance Project homepage: <http://www.project-liberty.org>

The latest version of Lasso can be found on the labs.libre-entreprise.org

website, <http://labs.libre-entreprise.org/frs/?group_id=31>

Lasso has several mailing lists:

- lasso-devel@lists.labs.libre-entreprise.org

  The mailing list for Lasso users and developers; discussions about both

  development and deployment of Lasso have their place on this list.

  <http://lists.labs.libre-entreprise.org/mailman/listinfo/lasso-devel>

- lasso-cvs-commits@lists.labs.libre-entreprise.org

  This list just distributes notices about commits to the Lasso CVS tree.

  It has no discussions, and it is not interesting unless you wish to

  take part in development.

There is also a bug tracking system on the labs.libre-entreprise.org website,

  <http://labs.libre-entreprise.org/tracker/?atid=206&group_id=31>

Lasso was originally written by Nicolas Clapiès and Valéry Febvre.  Please

see the file AUTHORS_ for a list of major contributors, and the ChangeLog

for a detailed listing of all contributions.
