Oh boy, I am am really getting old. While I was compiling today’s yearly blog roundup I *knew* there was something missing, and then it came to me: somehow I forgot to blog about the article that the amazing Wade and I wrote about ACS back in December! In fact we wrote it…
As it is by now tradition, here there’s my annual checkpoint on blog activities (former years’ digests: (2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010). This is my 514th blog post, which sounds like a pretty unbelievably high pile of blabber… until you look at the numbers of certain overzealous tweeters (I won’t add…
Here there’s the last episode of the “how-to” series on the ACS Extensions for Umbraco, released (among a ton of other things) at the new ACS’ launch last week. The feature described here is my favorite: the power of accepting users without having to provision them is one of the most powerful capabilities…

We really made an effort to make those new capabilities blend into the Umbraco UI, and without false…
After the new content storm of yesterday, here I’ll start to look at some individual pieces. The first one I’d like to feature is the new ACS+WP7 phone, based on the work of Caleb from the ACS team (hear the details from the man himself here). It’s available both online in out msdn…
Last week we shipped a new version of the Windows Azure AppFabric Access Control service. and MIX is all a buzz about it! The new ACS includes a plethora of new features that you guys have been asking with enthusiasm: single sign on from business and web identity providers, easy integration with…
I finally found (read: made) the time to get back to the “Fun with FabrikamShipping SaaS” series. As in the first installment (where I provided a “script” for going through the creation and use of a small business edition instance) here I will walk you through the onboarding and use of a new…
Back in August I tried to capture in a single view all the relevant aspects for token issuing of that LABS release of ACS: preconfigured identity providers, available issuer endpoints, credential types accepted, token types, and so on. Since then I’ve been using that infographic in various sessions, and it served me well…
