Claims-Based Single Sign-On for the Web
This scenario  focuses on how to implement single sign-on and single sign-off within a security domain as a preparation for sharing resources with other security domains, and how to migrate applications to Microsoft® Windows® Azure. In short, this scenario contains the commonly used elements that will appear in all claims-aware applications.

In this video, Eugenio Pace gives an overview of this project and the scenarios that are covered in this guide. This guide will introduce you to “claims-based” identity, a set of ideas and tools that may make it easier for you to build features like autorization, authentication and personalization into your apps in a more flexible way. In this guide, we’ll introduce some concepts that may sound new: claims, federated identity, and much more.

Based on the feedback, we started a project last year to build guidance on acceptance testing.

What is acceptance testing?

Working definitions for a number of terms are available in our Draft Glossary. The current definition that is framing our work and discussions is:


    Acceptance Testing: Planned evaluation of a system by customers/customer proxies to assess to what degree it satisfies their expectations.

However, we have heard a lot of requests from our customers for guidance on testing and test strategy in general. Based on the feedback, we started a project last year to build guidance on acceptance testing.What is acceptance testing? Working definitions for a number of terms are available in our Draft Glossary. The current definition that is framing our work and discussions is:     Acceptance Testing: Planned evaluation of a system by customers/customer proxies to assess to what degree it satisfies their expectations.

As we mentioned in our earlier post, we release a drop from our SharePoint Guidance project every two weeks which is the duration of our iteration. We released Drop 10 to our CodePlex project site last week. In this webcast, Erwin van der Valk and Francis Cheung are discussing the changes that have been made in iteration 10 of the SharePoint developer Guidance. The primary focus of iteration 10 was to create and extend couple of reusable assets that can help you to create better SharePoint applications:

  • A Hierarchical configuration manager, that allows you to store configuration values at the Farm level, allow you to override them in lower levels.
  • A generic Service Locator for sharepoint that stores it’s typemappings in config.
  • A Sitemap provider that stores it’s sitemap in hierarchical config.
  • Reusable workflow activities for SubSite creation, that help you to implement your own SubSite creation process.

With the conclusion of this iteration, the SharePoint Guidance v2.0 project is now feature complete. The next iterations will focus primarily on bug fixes, documentation and quickstarts.

In this webcast, Erwin van der Valk and Francis Cheung discuss the improvements that have been made in iteration 9 of the SharePoint Developer Guidance V2. In this iteration the team focused mainly on improving the code.  For example, the fake SSO provider has been replaced by a solution that follows the trusted façade pattern. Also, the WCF proxies and their repositories have been refactored and improved quite a bit. This video guides you through many of the improvements that have been made in the iteration.
