答复: [higgins-dev] Integration of RCP Identity Selector

[Tie Li <litie@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi，Jochen,

Glad to hear that you are interested
in the "RCP identitiy selector", I have developed this feature
with Mike and Bruce in the year 07-08. I see you have defined two scenarios
in the following, but my question is, do you have any business requirement
at hand or typical use case/user stories about rich client application
with identity selector functionality,or what's the motivation of typical
rich client applications to integrate with the identity selector?  

For you questions:

The RCP ID selector and HBX are in two
separate process, and I use socket as the inter-process communication channel.
HBX can hold up info-card form's POST request, it can get the info-card
description of the Web page (mostly are the <param> tags of the <object>
tag), and send these information to the RCP identity selector process through
a TCP connection, on 8088. The selector then work out the security token
(from remote STS server or locally) and return the token to the HBX.  
 

We have define the message format (XML)
for this TCP connection, so the RCP rich client application can use the
same way to invoke this selector. Your application can just prepare this
XML message, and send out through port 8088; and then wait for the security
token on this connection. 

I have a sample (which I prepared for
IBM Lotus Expeditor/Notes last year), and you can find the stuff com.ibm.rcp.security.icard
contains things you may want. Note that the code may be old as it is
developed in April 2008.

Hi all,

we, a group of four developers, have a joint submission about "Identity
Management in your RCP application with Higgins" together with Mary
Ruddy. We are doing development of RCP and server-side applications quite
a good while, and are trying now to integrate Higgins into typical application
architectures.

We are preparing a demonstrator for EclipseCon, where we want to show the
integration of the RCP Identity Selector into an simple RCP application.

We have two scenarios in mind:

- Embed an RCP Identity Selector into an existing RCP application, to enable
re-use of identity cards (either local, or managed)
- Use a locally installed RCP Identity Selector for more than one application

What is the preferred way, to startup the RCP Identity Selector from a
RCP UI? Are there any samples within SVN?
The app "crpps" also contains a service (RPPSService2) providing
Higgins Browser extension (<hbx...>) protocol running on port 8088.
Is this the preferred way to share one common installed RCP Identity Selector
for multiple RCP applications? Are there any details about the HBX protocol
supported by this service?


Thanks, Jochen_______________________________________________
