Superpat (Pat Patterson) has just had a blog dialogue (blogalogue? ;^) with fellow Identity blogger Rohan Pinto which really merits a few minutes of study. Pat has successfully combined his extensive knowledge of current federation systems and Sun products to give a really good analysis of the practicalities.
Pat's blog entry includes a description of how Liberty and Shibboleth relate to each other and the relevance of SAML 2.0; also, the Liberty concept of one-time federation, which deserves to be more widely appreciated and implemented. Oh, and he manages to correct some of the misconceptions currently in Wikipedia about federation.
All in all, a tour de force... nice one, Pat.
