Higgins and SAML 2.0
We’ve always claimed that Higgins is about a consistent card-based experience over whatever protocols have traction in the marketplace (not just CardSpace and OpenID). Well I’m happy to say that Markus Sabadello has just contributed the beginnings of a SAML 2.0 IdP to Higgins. All of the conversations over the years with folks like Gerry Beuchelt, Scott Cantor, Bob Morgan, Jeff Hodges, Peter Davis, Eve Maler, Connor Cahill, Brett McDowell, Uppili Srinivasan, Roger Sullivan are now bearing fruit. Any help and contributions from experts from the SAML community would be greatly appreciated.
Eventually this SAML work should bubble up to the UI as an “s-card“, a SAML 2.0 i-card. I also look forward to working with the SAML community to define the data format for an s-card (a new SAML profile I should think) and make it something every selector supports.
[Since Higgins is on a bomb run to get Higgins 1.0 out the door, this new effort will proceed quietly in parallel so as not to slow it down.]
