When did Access Control Service 2.0 come out?
In April 2011, we announced the availability of Access Control Service 2.0. This release represented a major update to the service and added new federation capabilities for web sites and web services that were not available before. In September 2011, Windows Azure Service Bus enabled built-in support for ACS 2.0, and since then all namespaces created through the Windows Azure Management Portal have used ACS 2.0 instead of ACS 1.0. Due to some differences between ACS 1.0 and ACS 2.0 described here, prior ACS 1.0 namespaces were not automatically upgraded to ACS 2.0 in 2011.
When will ACS 1.0 be taken offline?
ACS 1.0 will be officially taken offline on December 20, 2012. This 12 month period along with the ACS 1.0 Migration Tool allows customers with ACS 1.0 namespaces to proactively migrate to ACS 2.0. All customers with ACS 1.0 namespaces are encouraged to migrate to ACS 2.0 in advance of December 20, 2012 to avoid potential service interruptions. An explanation on the need to migrate ACS 1.0 namespaces used by the Service Bus, and how to prepare for it was covered in this blog post: Service Bus Access Control Federation and Rule Migration.
