Details of what is new in our 3.0 release of the WiKID Strong Authentication Server.

Upgraded required components to Java 1.5, Tomcat 5.5, ApacheDS 1.0.1
Cleaner delineation of concerns (e.g., no longer putting unnecessary JARs into JDK's ext)
Removed unnecessary demo.war and signup.war - Can be provided if you really want them.
Support for PostgreSQL 8.x
Updated and renamed scripts. The app is contolled via /opt/WiKID/bin/wikidctl and invoked through "wikidctl setup", "wikidctl start" and "wikidctl stop"
The server can be started without a passphrase by creating /etc/WiKID/security and entering "WAUTH_PASSPHRASE=passphrase" on the first line. This allows a restart without manual intervention, required for automated failover.
Improved logging, transitioned to log4j
ISO and VMWare images converted from Fedora to CentOS
Support for PUT in server for proxy requirements
