After a long pause, the Id Element returns with a bang<\/a>: yesterday I sneaked in Jorgen Thelin<\/strong>\u2019s office, and he was so kind to spend some time with us discussing<\/a> the Microsoft Federation Gateway<\/strong>. The MFG<\/strong> is absolutely central to Microsoft\u2019s services offerings: this interview will help you understand what scenarios it enables and how to take advantage of it. Below there\u2019s the caption:<\/p>\n

Jorgen Thelin<\/b>, Senior Program Manager, looks after key identity services in Microsoft such as Windows Live ID<\/strong> and the Microsoft Federation Gateway<\/strong> (MFG<\/strong>).
In today’s interview <\/em>Jorgen <\/em><\/a>describes the role of MFG<\/strong>, and touches on the many wonders it enables: using AD accounts to SSO (single sign on) access to Microsoft Business Online Services<\/strong> such as Dynamics CRM, allowing the 550 million owners of a Live ID account to gain access to your federated applications <\/em>developed <\/em><\/a>with Windows Identity Foundation<\/strong>, and much more.
<\/em>Jorgen <\/em><\/a>also takes the chance to tell the story of the Microsoft Services Connector<\/strong> (MSC<\/strong>), from its inception to the decision of consolidating its functionalities in Active Directory Federation Services 2.0 <\/strong>(see the <\/em>Microsoft Online Service Federation Utility<\/em><\/a> preview).
Finally, <\/em>Jorgen <\/em><\/a>gives us a taste of the future of MFG<\/strong>: non-AD directories<\/strong>, SAML2.0 protocol<\/strong> and the new scenarios that those exciting features will enable.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
