Comment on Further into Identity as a Platform Play by dale

Tim, I completely agree. I think for many SMBs and companies that grow up in the cloud, they will also expect their user accounts to be held in the cloud — and often at the center of an application markeplace like Salesforce user accounts are today. My point was that many companies won’t move their user accounts to the cloud, and yet hosters can still be the hub of an application marketplace by providing identity services that securely connect applications to those enterprise identities.

What if we are not talking about “enterprise” customers here? What about the 90M SMBs out there who may or may not have any identity management system? If they have none or just a small eDir or AD identity management system on their premises, wouldn’t locating their identity management service in the cloud be the way to go? I think it makes sense to have SMBs subscribe to Identity-as-a-Service especially when all of their data and apps will be located in the cloud.

Hey Rick, thanks for the comment, but I’m not sure what link you mean. The link to the pdf of my talk works for me. Is there some other link that’s broken?

> I am left with one question: did the beer taste so good because I was in Germany, or was it just the beer?

Good company and interesting topics for table talk seem to greatly enhance the taste of beer… I hope EIC had enough of both

Definitely – and is already stuck on the wall alongside Centrifugal Force (http://xkcd.com/123/) and Matrix Transform (http://xkcd.com/184/).

Yeah, I think this one is absolutely hilarious, too.

Comment on First Identity Selector in a Linux Distribution: DigitalMe in OpenSUSE 11.1 by Edwin Grimminck

Just a note. I didn’t get the firefox plugin from the OpenSuse repository on 64-bit OpenSuse 11.1 to work. The plugin is visible and active in Firefox but clicking the Card-login icon always results in an error stating the Selector is Undefined.

Installing the firefox plugin (xpi file) directly from:
http://code.bandit-project.org/trac/downloads?catfilter=DigitalMe
does work.
