Ashish Jain of Ping Identity<\/a> seems to have broken another barrier by demonstrating a “managed card” identity provider written in Java.<\/p>\n

In the world of InfoCards, we talk about two kinds of “identity provider”.  One is a “self-issued” card provider, through which individuals can make claims about themselves.  The other is a “managed” card provider, which supports claims made by one party about another party. <\/p>\n

Examples of managed card providers could include claims made by an employer about its employees; a financial institution about its customers; an enterprise about its customers; or a reputation service making claims about its users.  While the technology for posting tokens from an identity selector like Cardspace to a web site can be very light weight (RESTful), that for building managed card providers is more challenging.<\/p>\n

Here's how Ashish puts it<\/a>:<\/p>\n

The Managed Card IdP as well as the RP server that we demonstrated at DIDW is now available for a test run. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s still early access\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6so expect some issues. But if you do want to try early, give it a go. It should give you an idea of the things to come.<\/p>\n
