AW: [higgins-dev] CardSync : Agenda for Higgins developer call March26 atnoon ET

I think it is more work to make it right later and it is sending the wrong message to other developers if Higgins is not eating it's own mousefood.
I have no problem with username/password if this is implemented faster than X509 and as I said the difference to the current 
UsernamePasswordCredentialTO compared to sending a RST and digesting the saml-token is small 

Another question: Does the current Higgins architecture allow the selector to access multiple cardstore in parallel? I implemented that openinfocard can have the cardstore on a nfc-phone but if I want to have several cardstores in parallel things get more complicate than I want to tackle with today.
I want to use the "standard" cardstore but if I put the phone on the nfc reader then I want this card to be selectable in the selector immediately. 
Next I want to move cards from one store to the other...

	+1  I think I have made this point several time re authn to the remote card store. 

	Last night I was pointing out to Drummond that the selector could easily have a X.509 cert/keypair that is used to back the authn card for the store. 

	Axel I think the idea is under consideration for a future design but people want to get something out the door quickly.

		Regarding 2. and [2] from the latest Agenda email and last weeks email regarding CardSync:
		
		"GET Cards" is only one example of the many bad decisions from
		http://wiki.eclipse.org/CardSync_Protocol
		
		Most methods/calls described in CardSync_Protocol reinvent the wheel!
		
		Another example:
		  AuthCredential - "/AuthCredential" Signon
		You are posting a usernamePasswordAuthCredentialTO but this is sö 90ties...
		
		The selector accessing the cardstore in the cloud is just a rich-client that needs an access token to access the cardstore.
		So the way this MUST be achieved to adhere to the overall Higgins goals is:
		- send a security token request to the cardstore idp and retrieve a security token. Authenticate to the IdP using what ever method it accepts but use the standard RST for this.
		- use that security token in to access the cardstore (RP) to e.g. retrieve the cards
		
		The difference between the data exchanged in the Signon example and the standard RST is minimal. And Higgins already has all the code needed to do it the standard way.

		Hello,
		
		GET /cardsync/rs/Cards  was implemented just for FC2 demo, it's temporary method due to i didn't finish method which return all changes (ICards, Card history, Card categories, ...)  from server between client and server root revisions.
		
		if you think "GET Cards" is useful, i may  re-implement it  by using  RoamingStore and card extension for transferring  CardSync specific data (Revsion information etc) or without it. 
		
		I'm sure,  CardSync should be compatible with "Identity Selector Interoperability
		Profile" as much as possible, but it will not  be clear/easy always usage extensions for transferring CardSync specific data, so CardSync have to define  own  schema.
		
		it may make sense to support few methods for importing cards from Crd/Crds files and getting them, for example some Card selectors would use CardSync like on-line backup service with minimal changes.

		Sorry for chiming in late but why do you define your own cardstore xml in
		
		http://wiki.eclipse.org/CardSync_Protocol ?
		
		Why isn't the response to
		
		GET /cardsync/rs/Cards HTTP/1.1
		
		a RoamingStore as defined in identity.xsd ?
		
		http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2005/05/identity/identity.xsd
		
		There are enough extension points in the schema if you need extra data and if you do not want to use some required value then like BackgroundColor then set them to 0.

		Dial-in: 1-866-362-7064 / 89-2048#
		
		Agenda
		1. [Brian] 1.1M6 - was targeted for March 18  
		
		See [1]
		
		2.   [Brian, Alexander, Andy] Selector Architecture Harmonization   
		
		See [2]  
		Andy didn't quite get the Synchronizing CardStore done; may need to hand this off to another developer
		
		3.   [Mary, Jeesmon, Jochen] Current status of RCP Selector use for EclipseCON  demo
		
		4. [Markus]  IdAS Authentication
		
		Markus is working on a proposal [4]
		
		5.   [Paul] Higgins website improvements [3]
		
		There are 6 items to discuss
		2.1 Flatten Solutions into the 3 solutions areas (nav structure change)
		2.2 Reorganizing Solutions
		2.3 Eliminate "Higgins Data Model" (nav structure change)
		2.4 New solution names
		2.5 New component set names
		2.6 New Downloads Page
		Updated home page implementing (2.1, 2.2 and 2.3) is available in the staging area [5]
		
		6.   [Paul] FC2 Higgins Workshop Mar 11-13 in Paris
		
		We demoed the Selector Linux-GTK reading/writing cards using CardSync
		FC2 member (Orange) has developed a selector for Nokia J2me phone
		FC2 has also developed a web selector
		
		7. [Paul] Propose merge web ICM and the Web Selector together into a single solution
		
		8. [Paul] CardSync
		
		JohnB's authentication idea (use personal card)
		Should we use it as the one and only CardStore API for the Higgins selector? This was discussed briefly last week in Paris. Perhaps a simple core protocol and then extensions.
		
		9. [Paul, Markus] All Selectors diagram [6]
		
		Discuss if diagram is correct WRT process boundaries (as noted in [6])
