Microsoft goes open source for identity
Microsoft has started four open source projects to aid interoperability between identity management systems, and said it will offer another of its identity specs for free.
The company also announced a partnership to create a connector for its Identity Lifecycle Manager 2007 that allows integration with directories based on the open source OpenLDAP specification.
Microsoft has been working on fostering integration among identity providers, especially in terms of its Information Card technology and the CardSpace implementation of that technology in Vista.
IBM, Novell and a group of academics are working on the Higgins open source project designed to tie together applications and identity systems. Developer Chuck Mortimer has created a Java-based identity card selector that runs in a browser, and developer Kevin Miller has created an extension for Firefox to support CardSpace.
