I recently had an opportunity to write an article on securing web services using federated single sign-on. ebizQ was kind enough to publish it! (Thank you!!!) Click the image below to check it out . . .

I had the pleasure of recording the first episode of Identity Management Buzz TV a few weeks back. My first guest was Yvonne Wilson from Sun IT. Yvonne is responsible for the security and application services for Sun’s internal operations. She is responsible for managing Sun’s identity infrastrcuture which includes:

1. 50,000 internal users
2. 11 million external users
3. 1200 internal applications (excluding outsourced applications)
   

Holey moley is right! You don’t want to miss this one as it addresses a pragmatic approach to incrementally implementing an identity architecture that scales.

I recently had a chance to sit down with my friend, Rajeev Angal, to discuss federation and Sun’s approach. Check it out. Rajeev is a brilliant architect at Sun and continually blows me away with his capabilities. Also, I apologize in advance about my hair. I had a miscommunication with the experts at Supercuts. Peace out!

I just love the power of OpenSSO. Take a look at some of the innovation that’s occurred over the last few months. Got to love it . . .
