Don Schmidt just wrote a set of thoughtful and informative posts on federation on the occasion of today’s publication of WS-Federation 1.1 by OASIS. They are:
- What is Federated Identity?
- WS-Federation 1.1 goes to OASIS
- WS-Federation 1.1 completes the WS-* Security Stack
- WS-Federation 1.1 and SAML 2.0 have different goals
- WS-Federation 1.1 embodies lessons learned from shipping products
I highly recommend them! Welcome to the blogosphere Don!
