OpenID is a key feature in decentralizing single sign-on, much favored by many users.<br /><br />The WSO2 Identity Solution also works with current enterprise identity directories, such as those based on the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) and Microsoft Active Directory, allowing them to leverage their existing infrastructure. In addition to the Identity Provider the WSO2 Identity Solution provides a Relying Party Component Set which plugs into the most common Web servers to add support for CardSpace authentication and now OpenID WSO2 Identity Solution 1.5 can be downloaded from <a href="http://wso2.org/downloads/solutions/identity">http://wso2.org/downloads/solutions/identity.</a><br /><br /><br />New features in

href="http://www.webstandards.org">The Web Standards Project (WaSP)</a> to help browser vendors ensure proper support for web standards in their products. <br /><br />On 19th December, it was annouced that IE8 passed Acid2 test.<br /><br />Visit <a href="http://www.webstandards.org/files/acid2/test.html">here </a>to take the test yourself with your browser.<br /><br />If the browser is compliant, then the test page should look like following:<br /><br /><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;"

and it fails.<br /><br /><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;"

as well.<br /><br /><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;"

protect your Infocard with a PIN.<br /><br />CardSapce supports you to PIN protect your Infocard.<div class="blogger-post-footer">[<a href=http://www.mblk.org/>http://www.mblk.org/</a>]<img width='1'

supports Infocard login.<br /><br />Please visit Mashup Server <a href="https://mashups.wso2.org/">community site</a>, Signup for a new account, Signin and register a Personal Infocard with your account. Now you can login with your Personal Infocard.<br /><br />Link to register your Infocard is available on your profile page.<div class="blogger-post-footer">[<a href=http://www.mblk.org/>http://www.mblk.org/</a>]<img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17919015-6257293548156489420?l=psiriwardena.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Prabathnoreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17919015.post-80989029571350112782007-12-21T15:52:00.000+05:302007-12-21T16:39:53.022+05:30This is another outcome of OpenID Cardspace integration, to the OpenID community.<br /><br />With the aid of Personal Information cards, it's possible to implement password-less login. <br /><br />With this apporach, most of the cases you will signup with a Personal Information card. The beauty of Personal cards is, CardSpace creates a unique id [ppid] for each information card, relying party combination. See the screen-shot below. I am using the same Personal Information card to signin to many relying parties.<br /><br /><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_K2WLYAmEH8g/R2uV4f3MSrI/AAAAAAAAAVM/eLaQqHMoGSo/s320/myopenidpersonalcard.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5146371797059127986" /><br />Okay - what happens if we lose the Infocard - say we clear the CardSpace. Can we use another personal card with the same set of claims to login to my RP. No, you won't - remember I said, ppid, is a combination of Infocard + RP, so once you lost your Infocard you can do nothing to login to the same RP with the same profile.But, RPs may have different ways to recover your account/profile - remember, the 'secret question' in a normal username/password case.<br /><br />There are two patterns found, adapted by many sites to implement passwordless login.<br /><br />1. Signup directly with your Personal Information card.<br /><br />2. Signup with a username/password based account and associate any number of Personal Infocards with it. So - later you can have passwordless login with any of the associated Infocards. Also - with this approach if you lose your Infocard you need not to worry too much, you have the other option - username/password login.<br /><br />The above two are the most common ones. In addition to those <a href="http://www.myopenid.com">myOpenID</a> also supports removing the password from your account [deviates slightly from 2] - once you have linked your account with a Personal Infocard.<br /><br />Also, it's a good practice to backup your Infocards. Windows Cardspace let you have encrypted backups.<div class="blogger-post-footer">[<a href=http://www.mblk.org/>http://www.mblk.org/</a>]<img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17919015-8098902957135011278?l=psiriwardena.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Prabathnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17919015.post-38423271019095831392007-12-21T11:30:00.000+05:302007-12-21T11:50:05.032+05:30Follwong are some of the windows registry setting, corresponding to Microsoft Identity Selector.<br /><br />1. HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MIME\Database\Content Type\application/x-informationCard<br /><br />Internet Explorer 7.0 supports information cards using a MIME handler extension called Microsoft Information Card IE Helper, available from icardie.dll. The above registry key links the MIME type for information cards to the handler.<br /><br />2. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\InformationCard Token Provider<br /><br />The handler is responsible for calling the Identity Selector, passing parameters specified by the object tag or XHTML binary behavior. For Internet Explorer 7.0, the identity selector defaults to Windows CardSpace, indicated by the above registry entry.<br /><br />3. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Default Behaviors\INFORMATIONCARD<br /><br />For the object tag syntax, the MIME handler is triggered through the InformationCardSigninHelper Class, enabled by default in the Internet Explorer 7.0 add-ons.If this add-on is disabled, the object tag will not trigger identity selection, but this setting has no effect on XHTML syntax. The XHTML information card behavior is configured in a string entry labeled INFORMATIONCARD under the registry key.<br /><br />The object tag uses the MIME type application/x-informationCard:<br /><br />&lt;object id="informationCard" name="informationCard" <br /> type="application/x-informationCard"&gt;<br /> ...<br />&lt;object><br /><br />The information card binary behavior can be specified in XHTML by using a #default#informationCard behavior in the &lt;informationCard&gt; element:<br /><br />&lt;ic:informationCard name="xmlToken" <br /> style="behavior:url(#default#informationCard)" ... &gt;<br /> ...<br />&lt;/ic:informationCard&gt;<div class="blogger-post-footer">[<a href=http://www.mblk.org/>http://www.mblk.org/</a>]<img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17919015-3842327101909583139?l=psiriwardena.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Prabathnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17919015.post-33639857379084448152007-12-20T11:18:00.000+05:302007-12-20T11:22:13.833+05:30The release can be downloaded from: <a href="http://wso2.org/downloads/mashup">http://wso2.org/downloads/mashup</a><br /><br /><u>Extracted from the release note:</u><br /><br />The WSO2 Mashup Server is a powerful yet simple and quick way to tailor Web-based information to the personal needs of individuals and organizations.It is a platform for acquiring data from a variety of sources including Web Services, HTML pages and feeds, and process and combine it with other data using JavaScript with E4X XML extensions.
