I am typing this post from Shiphol, Amsterdam\u2019s airport, where I am waiting to fly back to Seattle after a super-intense 2 days at TechEd Europe.<\/p>\n<p>As it is by now tradition for Microsoft\u2019s big events, the video recording of the breakout sessions are available on Channel9 within 24 hours from the delivery. Yesterday I presented \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/LfID5w\">A Lap Around Active Directory<\/a>\u201d, and <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/LfID5w\">the recording<\/a> punctually&#160; just popped up: <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/LfID5w\">check it out<\/a>!<\/p>\n<p>The fact that the internet connectivity was down for most of the talk is unfortunate, although I am told it made for a good comic relief. Sorry about that, guys!   <br \/>Luckily I managed to go through the main demo, which is what I needed for making my point. The other demos I planned were more of a nice to have.     <br \/>I wanted to query the Directory Graph from Fiddler or the RestClient Firefox plugin, to show how incredibly easy it is to connect with the directory and navigate relationships: however I did have the backup slide showing a prototypical query and results in JSON, albeit less spectacular it hopefully conveyed the point.     <br \/>The other thing I wanted to show you was a couple of projects which demonstrate web sign on with the directory from PHP and Java apps: given that I had those running on a remote machine (my laptop\u2019s SSD does not have all that room) the absence of connectivity killed the demo from the start; once again, tho, those would have demonstrated the same SSO feature I have shown with the expense reporting app; and I would not have been able to show the differences in code anyway, given that the session was a 200. So, all in all a lot of drama but not a lot of damage after all <img decoding=\"async\" style=\"style\" class=\"wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-smile\" alt=\"Smile\" src=\"http:\/\/cloudidentity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/4162.wlEmoticon_2D00_smile_5F00_0DAA8CCA.png\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Thanks again for having shown up at <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/LfID5w\">the session<\/a>, and for all the interesting feedback at the book signing. Windows Azure Active Directory is a Big Deal, and I am honored to have had the chance to be among the first to introduce it to you. The developer preview will come out real soon, and I can\u2019t wait to see what you will achieve with it!<\/p>\n<div style=\"clear:both\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi all!
