\"PingEarlier this summer, just before the Burton Group Catalyst conference, Andre Durand<\/a> and Ashish Jain of Ping Identity<\/a> really surprised me with a lovely Identity Metasystem demo that combined use of Information Cards and federation technology.<\/p>\n

I don't think anything I've seen demonstrates more concretely why “federation” and “user centricity” are different and yet complementary.<\/p>\n

The demo is built around Ping Federate, which speaks four protocols for transporting SAML tokens around:  SAML 1.0, SAML 1.1, SAML 2.0, and WS-Federation.  Since it speaks all these federation dialects, it can talk to any federating system regardless of its dialect – for example WebSphere, Presentation Server, Windows 2003 and .NET, Tomcat, SAP, Web Logic, Salesforce.com, SiteMinder, CoreID, etc.<\/p>\n

But even better, the user has a rational experience as well – just seeing this circle of trust as being accessed through an Information Card.<\/p>\n

To play the demo:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Use Windows Media Player.  (You will need the Techsmith Screen Capture Codec (TSCC).  If your system complains it doesn't have the right codec, pick it up <\/strong><\/em>here<\/em><\/strong><\/font><\/a>.)  <\/em>If you want to watch this and don't have any way to see it with Windows Media Player, let me know and I'll make a version for Quicktime.<\/p>\n

The demo lasts 3 minutes and takes up 4 megs.  Download here.<\/a><\/p>\n

As always I sound a little earnest as I rush you towards the finale.  But I think you'll like what these guys have done anyway.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
