Re: [higgins-dev] Start an iCard AuthN from Standalone Java Application
|
Hi Paul,
Thanks for this fast reply :) I know that cardselector is OS specific so that solution (Higgins Selector Switch) is really a good choice. I'm more used to Higgins Framework than to CS .Net stuff :P
If you have any kind of "official" wiki text (updated) about how to use HSS and you could help me with it I would be really thankful :)
Thanks again Paul.

Hi David,
I do you one better: not only is it possible for a local app (written in Java or anything else) to launch a selector, but the best way to do this is for the client app to use the Higgins Selector Switch [1]. The user then has a choice of launching CardSpace or a Higgins-based selector.
I understand that you wish to call the selector from a Java app, but (since the HSS stuff is OS-specific) it would be helpful to know what operating system(s) you’re thinking about. So we can help you more specifically.
Since this HSS stuff is an area of active development, I’m afraid that the code in the SVN has outstripped the wiki doc at the moment, but we’re working on fixing up the HSS entries in the wiki (including, for example, how the HSS components are described in [1,2])

--PaulHello all,
I would like to ask you a brief help in a matter I've been asked. We would know whether is possible to start an iCard Authentication from a client that is just a standalone application, a java client. This client should take part in the iCard AuthN process with the RP role, should be able to start the process and consume the final token.
In this case, the application is on the same system that the client cardselector and the final communication is local.
I've talked with some MSDN CardSpace developer about this and they said me that is possible to do that creating a WSF-Service that could launch iCard AuthN protocol and handle the token but I would like to know if there is any kind of Higgins solution for this :)
If I remember well some time ago I saw a mail in the mailing list talking about some kind of iCard Java client api but I've not been able to find it now. Could you enlighten me about this? Is possible?
Thanks for your help :)
Regards,
