Bootstrapping ID-WSF 2.0 with OpenID Presentation
IIW Spring 2008 was excellent. The energy was all about collaboration. Cardspace/Infocard, OpenID, and Liberty (SAMLv2/ID-WSF 2.0) were all represented well. The focus was on how to pull these technologies together, leveraging the best parts of each. So the setting was perfect for the convergence demo that I had prepared, bootstrapping ID-WSF 2.0 with OpenID.
The demo was 4 applications:
RED-ID an OpenID Provider (OP) and an ID-WSF Client, providing attributes through OpenID Attribute extensions which originated from the user’s ID-WSF Profile Service.
PAdMan a relying party (RP) Personal Address Manager built on top of ID-WSF, using the user’s ID-WSF Personal Profile service, bootstrapped from an endpoint reference provided by the OP.
ID-TELE an identity aware telco RP that understands how to pull address data from the ID-WSF personal profile service, and how to set up a subscription for an address change.
DUDEyll a twitter RP.
I demonstrated OpenID SSO passing attributes supplied by an ID-WSF layer, and then some deeper usage of the Personal Profile Service across all 4 apps.
IIW 2008
I am in Mountain View, surfing on google’s ubiquitous wifi, finishing up preparations for my IIW demo. It has been a very busy (yet somewhat behind the scene) couple of months for OpenLiberty — I will be posting some cool announcements later this week.
What I am presenting is an ID-WSF environment based on OpenLiberty code that is bootstrapped through an OpenID server. I know, I know… I am breaking cardinal rules, sinning in the eyes of the identity gods (who also care about privacy and trust) — but it is a cool demo. I am also in the process of building the same demo using a SAMLv2 IdP and zxid. After I give the demo I’ll be working on making it available in some form on the Internet.
The weather here is great. I have seen more MacBook Airs than anywhere else, maybe google employees like them. If you are in Mountain view and you wanna hook up, talk identity, send me a note using asa dot openliberty at zenn dot net .
