Hello all,
I've written the support for CardSpace technology to vB, because I think it's nice technology. So I want to share it with you.
What is CardSpace
It's an authentication technology which doesn't use standart usernames & password but cards - an user can have one card (=one identity) for all websites. But every site receives a different hash from the client, so a webmaster can't steal users' identities.
More at Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardspace)
Requirements
Client requirements:
You must have installed .NET 3.0 (comes with Win. Vista or you can install it yourself)
You must have Internet Explorer 7 or Firefox with IdentitySelector (http://www.codeplex.com/IdentitySelector/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ReleaseId=9125)plugin
The webserver doesn't have to meet any special requirements.
