Sun Developer Network's SDN Channel this month focuses on Identity Management. There's a cool video featuring my esteemed colleague - Identity Guru Aravindan Ranganathan. Aravindan looks at some of the latest web services security features in Sun Java System Access Manager 7.1, bringing a new twist to that old staple web service sample - the stock ticker - by allowing only authenticated users to obtain real-time quotes. If you want to try this at home, the beta of Access Manager 7.1 is available now in the Java EE SDK download.

There's a whole load more useful information (and a link to a short article I wrote on open source identity at Sun) in the SDN Show Notes.
