Few months ago I stepped in Jaime’s office and I pitched to him the idea of a Managed Card writer application, that would leverage his specialty: great user experience via WPF!!! So I took over one of the whiteboards of his office and filled it with hallucinations on cards, tokens, multiple authentication factors…

Hello there! I’m totally drowning in stuff to do these days, but this post is quick to write and can potentially save you a lot of hassle 🙂 In RC1 (.NET framework 3.0, IE7.0 and/or Vista: for once, we have all nicely aligned) we discontinued the namespace “http://schemas.microsoft.com/ws/2005/05/identity“, substituted by “http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2005/05/identity“. That holds both…
It’s with great pleasure and pride that I write these lines. The first case study we publish about a customer in production with Windows Workflow Foundation is about an Italian account: it’s Polfer, the railways police. Paul announces it here. I had the joy & privilege to be the Corp Architect Evangelist assigned…
Recently I posted mainly about CardSpace, but my mission is actually about all our application server technologies! Workflow Foundation is the perfect tool for describing & driving processes: and what is the generation of a managed card, if not a step in account provisioning? So I wrote a barebone sample activity, which wraps Garrett’s…
Oh joy!The WS-MetadaExchange specification has been updated. You can find the new spec here: http://specs.xmlsoap.org/ws/2004/09/mex/WS-MetadataExchange.pdf. Notable differences: The use of specifications from the WS-Management suite, namely WS-Transfer. Now the first method of retrieving metadata is treating them as WS-Transfer resources The chance of embedding metadata directly in endpoint references The request-response protocol for…
Weeell. As you know, I love sketching little pictures for supporting my point in my posts, and the tabletpc pen is simply perfect for that: it’s really the most natural thing to use!It’s very frustrating when you stumple into drawing software that exhibits sorry performance with the pen: however it’s usually enough to…
Garrett shares some of his JS-flavoured wizardry: with that snippet you can find out on the fly if the browser you’re running in is a good friend of CardSpace.
I’m receiving a lot of questions about the CRD file format, that is to say the format used by CardSpace for defining managed cards. I am rather sure that sooner or later we will publish an official reference for it, however I thought it could be interesting to take a closer look to it…
The product is not out yet, and I already think of the stuff I’d like in vNext.. 🙂 Today’s wishful thinking is about chains of trust. Imagine that your department of driving licences (DDL) issues you a managed card which represents the digital counterpart of your phisical license card. Your bank will presumably…
