Introduction
<to be written>
End-User Perspective
Warning: Higgins has not yet been released, there are still lots of bugs and missing features.
Setup
To use this configuration you must:
- Install the Higgins Browser Extension into your browser.
- After re-starting your browser the setup wizard will help you set up your account on https://graceland.parityinc.net, the free test server run by Parity.
Functionality
You should now be able to:
- Import Microsoft CardSpace-compatible managed cards from test sites listed under "Identity Providers" here: CardSpace Interop. You go to the card issuing site, create a .crd file for the card. If you click on the link to the .crd file, the browser extension will pop up and automatically import this into the web-based selector. If you have a .crd file on your hard drive, there is an import button in the i-card manager to manually import it into the selector.
- If you click on the "mouse" button on the Higgins toolbar in Firefox the "i-card manager" web app will appear in your browser. You should be able to see your card(s) here.
- You can select a card and delete it if you wish.
- If you go to the test sites listed under "Relying Party Sites" here: CardSpace Interop you should be able to sign in using the card (assuming that the claims supported by the card you used satisfy the relying site's policy).
Developer Perspective
Architecture
For Higgins 1.0 the Web-based identity selector only supports integration with Firefox on Windows and Mac OSX. Support for other browsers and platforms is under active development.
Firefox Architecture Variant
The Firefox implementation uses an embedded i-card selector within the Higgins Browser Extension. This has been available since 1.0M4.
Building
This section describes the steps a developer would use to build deployable artifacts. The next section describes how to deploy them to create a runnable system.
This overall solution is comprised of the following sub-systems which must be built separately.
- Building the Higgins Browser Extension for Firefox
- Constituent components include: Higgins Browser Extension for Firefox
- Building the Higgins I-Card Manager Service
- Constituent components include: I-Card Manager
- Building the Higgins Identity Agent Service
- Constituent components include: RP Protocol Support, I-Card Selector Service, I-Card Registry, I-Card Provider, Token Service, Identity Attribute Service, Jena Context Provider
Deploying
This overall solution is comprised of these four sub-systems which must be built and deployed:
- Deploying the Higgins Browser Extension for Firefox
- Constituent components include: Higgins Browser Extension for Firefox
- Deploying the Higgins I-Card Manager Service
- Constituent components include: I-Card Manager
- Deploying the Identity Agent Service
- Constituent components include: Identity Agent Service, I-Card Selector Service, I-Card Registry, I-Card Provider, Token Service, Identity Attribute Service, Jena Context Provider
