PingID has just shipped the
1.0 release of SourceID.Java, their open source SDK for Liberty-enabling
any J2EE application. They're also a few weeks away from a full .NET
implementation of SourceID, which will mean J2EE and .NET applications will be
able to federate authentication using the Liberty
Alliance 1.0 specifications. [Jeremy Allaire]
I know
one company who needs to make a build/buy/adopt
decision on identify management. I’m hoping that Passport folks are not
too far away from releasing next generation of their infrastructure. Clearly,
with all the millions of Passport accounts, only a tiny portion of them come
from non MSFT sites. They soo need to get their act together and allow 3rd
parties easily run and control Passport accounts themselves.
