Pamela Dingle has posted some information we need to get out more broadly:
Important installation note for people wanting to play with CardSpace: CardSpace only works when installed on an NTFS filesystem. If you are planning on setting up the July CTP and playing with CardSpace, make sure your C: drive is not FAT32. (more…)
We can’t get the same kind of access control protection with FAT as we can with NTFS - for example the ability to set permissions at the directory and file level - so we set the bar at NTFS.
Well, that was a bitch. Pamela and I worked on this all week. She examined the error log being produced by the CardSpace control panel and suggested that the problem was FAT32. I reluctantly converted my c: drive to NTFS.
Hey, the CardSpace control panel works and I was able to log into the Sandbox and–as this comment is a witness–I can now login to the identity blog.
Whew. I love using an infocard to login. Getting there was no fun.
I will also document this on my blog. http://www.craigburton.com.
