Simple Federation meets The Federation Validator

Thursday May 01, 2008

My goal in life, besides world peace, is to make federation so simple my 15 month child, Taro, can do it. Now that's a lofty goal, but we're making progress towards that in Federated Access Manager 8. To give you a preview, I've prepared a screencast that shows the following:

* Configuring an Identity Provider (IDP)
* Configuring an Service Provider (SP)
* Creating a Circle of Trust between the IDP and SP
* Validating the federated connection

The goal is to give you an idea of how simple federation has become. Keep in mind, I'm marketing and I can do it. I'm also not one of those converts from engineering to marketing (light-side to dark-side), but rather come from a business background and have a BA in Public Affairs. In short, this stuff is not designed for identity experts, but rather dimwits like myself.

As always you can check all of this out for yourself at www.opensso.org. Enjoy the demo . . .
