Re: [higgins-dev] Proposed updates to Higgins Architecture diagramperAustin F2F discussions

But thinking out loud here...if I were designing the CPIP I think I would
have stored within the CPIP object itself a URI field: "<ContextId> /
<SubjectId>", where ContextId points to, say, a Jena-backed Context. And
SubjectId to a DS within it (the SubjectId can be null if there is only one
DS in the Context, BTW).

Yes, IdAS-based CPIP is implemented in this way. Personal I-Card contains a reference (ContextId + SubjectId) to a Digital Subject which contains a list of claims (). On the other hand, STS shouldn't use this reference, if we will need to develop some non-IdAS based CPIP. There is a method ICard.getClaims(), and it could be used by STS in case of Personal ICard.

Thanks,

Paul,

We are trying to figure out a few things wrt attributes for "personal"
i-Cards.
In "managed" mode, the STS pulls attribute values for claims from a
Context via Context Provider/IdAS.
In "personal" mode, it is unclear where the attibute (and master key)
values are - are they in the i-Card Store?

SergeyL has been designing and developing the CardSpace Personal i-card
provider (CPIP). So he should answer rather than I. The doc he wrote here
[1] is extremely vague (and should be fixed).

But thinking out loud here...if I were designing the CPIP I think I would
have stored within the CPIP object itself a URI field: "<ContextId> /
<SubjectId>", where ContextId points to, say, a Jena-backed Context. And
SubjectId to a DS within it (the SubjectId can be null if there is only one
DS in the Context, BTW). That way I could pass this ContextId/SubjectId
reference along in the RST to the TS and the TS could open this
ContextId/SubjectId. I would have separately developed a parser to import
the MSFT-defined personal i-card format. And I'd have separately developed a
generator to export to this same format.

It seems as if there is a need for the iCard Store for personal i-Cards to
be accessible via Context Provider/IdAS.
If so the lines aren't drawn to reflect that.

As mentioned I'm assuming that the runtime storage of CPIP attributes is in
IdAS. So only the existing blue link from the CPIP i-card provider to the
IdAS Component is required.
