The sad truth is that nobody really cared to fill out the feature test tables for relyingparties during the OSIS I3 interop. This table shows only relyingparties that have at least one test result other than "Not Tested". The xmldap RP and all Microsoft RPs were deleted from the table for this reason. Even features that most RPs support have no utilizable value. The last two rows of the table should show "Works" for probably all RPs but they show the dreaded "Not Tested"...
This table is not usefull to conclude the maturity of the Identity Metasystem from it. Shame on us. Shame on me.

OSIS I4 Wiki is coming up
I am pleasantly surprised that the I4 wiki is up. Well, I guess, Pam is still polishing it. That must be the reason we haven't seen an anouncement. Anyway; thanks Pamela, great work already.
Here is a table I compiled from the last interops feature tables. The new wiki will probably produce something similar automatically. Perhaps not with this eye-hurting colors.And there will be much more feature tests...

OSIS Interop Showcase at EIC2008
Wednesday and Thursday are the days to be in Munich to attend the 2nd European Identity Conference. Kuppinger and Cole were so kind to provide space and a WLAN and time and marketing people for the first post RSA interop. We will demonstrate interoperability during the last two hours of the expo opening time each day. Most of the RSA interop sites are up and working. The results of this interop go into the main RSA results table.
Tomorrow (Tuesday) is the day of interesting pre-conference workshops. I will attend the workshop "VRM 2008 - Unconference on Vendor Relationship Management" unorganized by Doc Searls. My colleague from T-Home, Michael Gärtner will present at the Liberty Alliance Standards Workshop. My colleague, Jörg Heuer, will participate in this panel discussion.

OSIS Interop Brute Force

Pat Patterson brute-forced the OSIS Interop Event and finished all the tests for the opensso solution. Unbelievable work!
I am wondering what this means for the xmldap RP because opensso uses the xmldap libraries. The results should - more or less - show some similarity...
The federated_identity site uses symmetric binding which is not supported by xmldap.
Siemens IdP: Have to look into this.

Interflop
You might have noticed that sometimes the security token on xmldap's relyingparty is not valid. The conditions on the token are not met because the time on the server was about 30 minutes off.
Chuck corrected this immediately and I wanted to verify that the relyingparty there now accepts a security token produced by the latest openinfocard id selector. I quickly installed it, but booom; it failed.
The line of code in question was unnecessary anyway so I cleaned up the javascript quickly; transferred the code from my lab machine to my office machine. Now the installation of the xpi went through but this time the token produced was "undefined". Strange. I did tests this on my lab machine yesterday; so what is the difference between the two machines?
Well, it turns out that the office machine had version 1.0.6 of the CardSpace for Firefox extension. After updating it to the current version 1.0.9 everything now works fine. ... Well, the certificate on xmldap.org expired two days ago. Argh, will be fixed soon. Sorry.
That was a nice 5 Minute adrenalin shock.

RSA User centric identity interoperability

"Interoperability Demonstrations
Tuesday, April 8 and Wednesday, April 9, 2008
11:00 AM – 6:00 PM
Moscone South, Mezzanine Level
Purple Room 220
OSIS User centric identity network interoperability between identity providers, card selectors, browsers and websites demonstrates how users can ‘click-in’ to sites via self-issued and managed information cards, or i-cards. Open ID, Higgins Identity Framework, Microsoft CardSpace, SAML, WSTrust, Kerberos and X.509 components interoperate within an identity layer from open-source parts."
Which, of course, include the openinfocard identity selector.

CardSpace for Firefox
In a few minutes I will upload the new version (1.0.5) of the identity selector hosted on the codeplex site. I always had problems with this name. At first it was called "Kevin's extension", later "the id selector selector".
From now on I will call it "CardSpace for Firefox" or CS4FF.
So... what is the reason for the new version? The folks from signon.com reported problems with the former version 1.0.4 and since the release of 1.0.4 Andrew Hodgkinson had improved the information card handling in his digitalme id selector. CS4FF uses Andrews code and today I put Andrew's new code into CS4FF. Hope that this fixes some of the issues. The results of a quick private interop is shown in this table below.

In the preferences you can now select between the three know id selectors availabe for Firefox: CardSpace, openinfocard and digitalMe!

I don't have digitalMe installed. Please test this.
Have fun!
