Subject: Active Identity Client session at IIW
At last week's IIW RL Bob and I attended a session on opportunities & issues for an 'Active Identity Client' (notes at [1]) It seems that Microsoft's demonstration of a selector for OpenID prompted the session. Although the focus of the discussion was on near term specification & development targeted for OpenID, it was a stated goal that such a selector would eventually support multiple protocols - SAML noted as one of them. From the notes "The ultimate goal of this discussion is a document that would propose best practices for supporting AICs, including extensions to existing standards (in partnership with the relevant working groups)." If our community deems support for SAML in such a client relevant, it may behoove us to follow & track the activity, to ensure that near-term specifications don't preclude SAML down the road. If we deem it particularly important, we could push back on the exclusive initial focus on OpenID.... Paul [1] - http://iiw.idcommons.net/Active_Client_iiw9
