But <a href=\"http:\/\/ahodgkinson.wordpress.com\/2007\/09\/11\/3\/\">his post today<\/a> will interest a lot of people.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this year we showed a version of an open source identity selector running on Linux and the Mac. It <a href=\"http:\/\/www.novell.com\/CA\/news\/press\/bandit-projects-cross-platform-card-selector-gives-users-control-of-their-internet-identities-1\">was announced<\/a> with the name DigitalMe, and we donated the code to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.eclipse.org\/higgins\/\">Higgins project<\/a>, where it is affectionately referred to as &#8220;the Higgins H2 Native Identity Agent&#8221;. But there were some problems. Even though the selector works fine for me on OpenSUSE Linux 10.2 and sports a lovely GTK UI, the Mac UI was a port and it required too many dependencies to install easily. It really needed to have a native Mac OS X UI. So Andy and Jim Norman set about this summer to learn Objective C and write a Cocoa UI, in addition to <a href=\"https:\/\/virtualsoul.org\/blog\/2007\/06\/19\/expressions-of-a-milestone-at-iiw-2007a\/\">enhancing the selector<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/identityblog.burtongroup.com\/bgidps\/2007\/08\/recapping-the-c.html\">interoperability<\/a> and their regular jobs. And it needed to be conveniently packaged for Mac users, so Andy fixed that too.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ahodgkinson.files.wordpress.com\/2007\/09\/digitalmescreen.jpg\" style=\"border: 2px solid ; margin: 4px; width: 250px; height: 167px; float: left\" alt=\"obligatory screen shot of digitalme on Mac OS X\" title=\"obligatory screen shot\" hspace=\"4\" vspace=\"4\" \/>Last Friday, Andy quietly posted the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bandit-project.org\/index.php\/Digital_Me_Download\">Mac binary packages<\/a>. Drag and drop install. We have <a href=\"http:\/\/identityblog.com\/\">tested<\/a> it <a href=\"https:\/\/jpip.verisignlabs.com\/\">with<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/pamelaproject.com\/\">many<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.signon.com\/\">relying<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/self-issued.info\/?p=28\">parties<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/sts.labs.live.com\/\">and<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/wag.bandit-project.org\/BanditIdP\/index.jsp\">identity<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/cards.pamelaproject.com\/\">provider<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/higgins.eclipse.org\/TokenService\/\">sites<\/a> (many more than those linked). We have also notified a few interested power users and got some initial feedback. It&#8217;s looking good so far.<\/p>\n<p>So if you&#8217;d like to run an easily installed, 100% open source package for OpenSUSE 10.2 or Mac OS X, you can get from the Bandit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bandit-project.org\/index.php\/Digital_Me_Download\">instructions and download page.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s shiny and new, and just might work.
