Elisardo González & Enrique Otero from the Universidad de Vigo in Spain send word that a beta version of the BioWebAuth software (Biometrics for Web Authentication) has been released. BioWebAuth is an open source Java framework intended to provide single sign-on web authentication based on BioAPI-compliant biometric software or devices. It uses the JA-SIG Central Authentication Service architecture. BioWebAuth system requires J2SE 1.5 SDK, JBoss Application Server 4.0.2 (or later), MySQL database 4.1 (or later) and BioAPI framework to be installed on the server machine.

This new version is easier to install than the previous one, and it offers a new administration tool that allows to enable/disable the enrollment process for a given user and a given biometric modality.

You can download the software from SourceForge.
