9:10 Barcelona Interop Event

• Preparations for Barcelona Interop Event
  • There are rumors of Microsoft showing up with a "v1.5" of CardSpace (packaged within in .NET Framework 3.5 Beta 2 ships within Vista SP1 and IE7). Unfortunately we have little information on what changes Microsoft has made and thus the interop implications.
• Rumors are the Microsoft is considering using WS-Trust 1.3, and SOAP 1.1, WS-Addressing W3C/2005/08
  • This blog has some interesting details: http://blogs.msdn.com/card/rss.xml
    • and specificically: http://blogs.msdn.com/card/archive/2007/09/25/first-post-for-the-cardspace-team-blog.aspx mentions:
  • Support RPs that don't use SSL
  • PPID calculation is different
  • Self-issued tokens are not encrypted.
• Conclusions
  • Markus Sabadello (Parity) will attend to demonstrate the Higgins H1 Identity Agent
  • Andy (Novell) will demonstrate the Higgins H2 IA
  • In both cases we will likely demonstrate nothing different from what was recently demonstrated at DIDW and June Catalyst
  • Higgins project needs to request formally that the above rumored changes are (a) documented in, e.g. Information Card interoperability profile 1.5??" and (b) that this document be covered under the OSP
  • Higgins project will not begin work on interoperability with these new 1.5 changes
  • In any event this work will not be part of Higgins 1.0
