[higgins-dev] Notes from 8 pm ET 4/20/2006 Higgins conf call (2nd call)

Present: IBM: TonyN, MikeM; SocialPhysics: PaulT, MaryR; Novell: DaleO; Compuware: GlenE; Serena/ALF: BrianC; Janrain: Larry, Carl; Interra: JonR; EricM; Composent: ScottL; Netmesh: JohannesE; Joaquin

 

Outcomes of the meeting::

 

 -    It was agreed in principle that the HBX and with all its supported identity protocols needs to be a single plugin.  (From a usability perspective, one is plenty.)

-          Need to let Johannes, etc. know when we have initial Infocard support working on Higgins BX so that he can take a look.

-          It was agreed that another action item is the creation of a consistent user experience for all the identity protocols supported (if possible)

-          It was agreed that another action item is creating consistency for security policy markers used by security providers.  There needs to be consistency on the back end. Does integration occur in the plug-in or on a server?

-          Several participants were interested in enabling a user to log into SUSE Linux using their personal URL. Action item to see what this would look like and if  it could be made to work.

-          Jon has a user case for a YADIS enabled wiki

-          RCP increasingly needs some notion of user authentication.  Use the Higgins abstraction layer as a wrapper.  So that the developer is writing to the Higgins API, not JAAS

-          Scott and Janrain have interest in building an OpenID Higgins provider.  Janrain needs more understanding of the Higgins Context API to do this. (People may have too many commitments to get this done before June)

-          Paul will be at the IIW in Mountain view May 1-3.  Day 3 is open space and Paul is happy to discuss the Context API, other more detailed technical topics and schedules then.
