Advanced Client / Supporting the Client

Utilizing clients—any piece of software that invokes or exposes a service--has been a focus of the Liberty Alliance specifications since inception in order to achieve new features, better usability, and better addressability, given the defined and restricted communications path that a client allows. Currently Liberty has defined the LECP (Liberty Enabled Client/Proxy) and the Active Client, and work is nearing a close on the Advanced Client, with Robust Client already well defined. In this rare "futures" webcast, Technical Expert Group participant Conor Cahill will review the anticipated capabilities of Advanced Client(due in the first half of 2007) and Robust Client, defining use cases and illustrating how it can be utilized to achieve new business offerings.

Open Source Identity for the Web 2.0 Era

Web 2.0 has been defined as a global platform of reusable services and data with data consumption and remixing from all sources, particularly user generated data. Part and parcel of this movement is the goal of continuous and seamless updating of software and data, often very rapidly with rich and interactive user interfaces. It also offers an architecture of participation that encourages user contribution. As such, it's no surprise that with the rise of interest in Web 2.0 there has been a rise of interest in Open Source. This webcast offers an overview of the open source projects in and around identity, with specific focus on OpenSSO, an Open Source project gaining momentum that implements Liberty Federation and Liberty Web Services as well as WS-I BSP and Lightbulb, a sub-project of OpenSSO that implements a SAML 2.0 service provider in the PHP language. Pat will show how a simple PHP application can be SAML 2.0-enabled in just a few minutes.
