Ah nice. Sunday night, 1:00am and I am still perfectly awake\u2026 the usual jet lag after vacation (3 hours for actual time zone difference, + 3 hours because in vacation I like to \u201crecuperate\u201d the lost sleep during the year ;-)).<\/P>

I am not brave enough to open the email yet, who knows what\u2019s awaiting for me there, so I\u2019ll just write down few lines about my next trip. I am really happy to report that I\u2019ve been summoned again to present at TechEd Australia<\/A> and TechEd New Zealand<\/A> on my favourite topic! Last year<\/A> it was a blast, awesome audiences and great, great places, and I really look forward to get there and blabber about identity, claims & company. I\u2019ll meet customers in Melbourne & Sydney, then I\u2019ll head to Gold Coast and from there to Auckland. I\u2019ll have exactly 0 (zero) time to take a look around, in fact I\u2019ll have to head back ASAP, but that\u2019s more the rule than the exception\u2026 that\u2019s how we roll \ud83d\ude09<\/P> I am scheduled to deliver the same 2 sessions in both events: one (ARC204) will be a classic intro to claims-based identity, the other (SEC305) will be a drilldown in WIF. Here there are titles, days, locations & abstracts:<\/P> For people who create software today, working with identity isn’t much fun. There are too many technologies and too much complexity. The industry-wide shift toward claims-based identity improves this, offering a better, simpler approach. Yet making this approach real requires infrastructure, which is why Microsoft is enhancing its platform with AD FS 2.0, Windows Identity Foundation and Windows CardSpace 2.0. This session provides an overview of these forthcoming identity technologies, showing the problems each one addresses and how they relate to one another. The goal is to provide a big-picture understanding of Microsoft’s approach to claims-based identity.<\/EM><\/P><\/BLOCKQUOTE> It\u2019s been really long since I didn\u2019t give a 200\u2026 preparing it will be fun! Nigel, I am not sure I won\u2019t slip to 300 here and there\u2026 I\u2019ll try to minimize those moments, I promise!<\/P> Application developers, meet Mr. ‘separation of concerns’. Thanks to its support of claims-based identity, the Windows Identity Foundation (formerly Geneva) APIs allow you to eliminate from your application all authentication- and authorization- specific code, by delegating its function to external entities. The application developer retains access to all the user attributes that are needed for driving the experience or feeding the business logic, without the burden of knowing anything about the underlying security plumbing. The security architect can secure an application simply by manipulating its config file at deployment time, or decide to take full control of the process and easily develop custom authentication and authorization logic. This session provides an overview of how to use Windows Identity Foundation for comfortably achieving the above in interoperable, location-independent fashion.<\/EM><\/P><\/BLOCKQUOTE> I am very grateful to Rocky for having allowed me the lighthearted title & abstract \ud83d\ude42 you know, that may even be the first session that uses WIF instead of Geneva Framework.<\/P> <\/P> <\/P> Aaall right. I\u2019m really looking forward to be there, as usual feel free to grab me at any time if you see me around and you want to talk identity!<\/P><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" digg_url = “http:\/\/blogs.msdn.com\/vbertocci\/archive\/2009\/08\/24\/identity-tech-ed-australia-new-zealand.aspx”;digg_title = “Identity @ Tech.Ed Australia & New Zealand”;digg_bgcolor = “#FFFFFF”;digg_skin = “normal”; digg_url = undefined;digg_title = undefined;digg_bgcolor = undefined;digg_skin = undefined; Ah nice.
