PING Identity’s Cloud Identity Conference
I’ve had the good fortune to find myself at the Ping Identity Cloud Identity Conference. The conference, as the name inplies, is dedicated to dealing with Identity in a SaaS world and all the interesting challenges that happen when identity traverses or is moved into the Internet.
Today I’m sitting through one of Ping’s Experts (Ian Barnett) who is going through how organizations can implement SAML for a host of reasons. One interesting conversation that came up was around the differences between SAML and OpenID and how their origins put them on a similar path but for different reasons.
A similar discusssion arose around Microsof’t's ADFS 2.0 and SAML 2.0 and there was certainly more than a little confusion about how the two do or do not interoperate effectivly.
