  • Jorgen Thelin on the Microsoft Federation Gateway

    Am I correct that the MFG is an FP-STS and it is never an IP-STS?  From watching the video, it sounds like the actual IdP is never the MFG, but the MFG has the capability to federate with thousands or even millions of IP-STSs (a WS-Federation/WS-Trust thunking layer for the IdP).  Because of its tight relationship with LiveID, an IP-STS, it seems like the MFG gets improperly called an IP-STS or IdP sometimes when it is in fact not.  If I am correct here, it would be helpful to call the MFG an FP-STS when describing it because many of us have this frame of reference, making this technology easier to come to terms with.

     

    The eventual support for SAML 2 and interoperability with PingFederate will be fantastic.  Looking forward to that.

     

    Great video.  Thanks for taking the time to produce it.

    WCF Discovery might turn out to be as cool as some are saying; however, I'm sceptical.
