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.
