Five deployers (AOL, Boeing, Government of British Columbia, GM, and the US General Services Administration) presented in the morning (presentations being added as permissions granted), on their various use cases requiring harmonization of specs and protocols. Several folks have blogged their own summaries: Pat Patterson, Mark Wahl, and Mark Dixon.
The use-case presentations from the June workshop are here:
- AOL slides: Media:AOLConcordiaWorkshop06.26.07.pdf, presented by George Fletcher, exploring three main use cases: 1. Seamless sign-in/sign-out experience; 2. Identity agents to hide protocol issues; and 3. Service invocation across protocols
- Boeing slides: Media:BoeingConcordiaWorkshop06.26.07.pdf, presented by Mike Beach, exploring three main use cases: 1. Internal Domain Integration; 2. Standards enabled endpoints; and 3. Nested federation
- Summary of GM slides: Media:GMShortConcordiaWorkshop06.26.07.pdf?, presented by Jim Heaton, summarizing some of the aspects of harmonization discussed at the workshop
- Government of British Columbia slides: Media:GovtofBritishColumbiaConcordiaWorkshop06.26.07.pdf?, presented by Ian Bailey, exploring 1. Citizen centred service and 2. A connected workforce
- US GSA slides: Media:USGSAConcordiaWorkshop06.26.07.pdf?, presented by Georgia Marsh, exploring these challenges: 1. Simple SAML interoperability, 2. Metadata distribution, 3. Trust anchors, 4. Activation/account linking, and 5. PKI attributes-> SAML, and culminating in an interfederation use case
The group then brainstormed in the final hour on common themes and next steps.
