Charteris consultant, Ivor Bright will be speaking at the Microsoft Architect Insight Conference, in Newport, Gwent, on the 5th-6th March 2007 on Active Directory Federation. The session description is as follows;
"In this session we'll start with a whiteboard chalk/talk in which we'll outline the problems and known ways of tackling the problems of federating identities, both across organizational boundaries and across platform and technology boundaries. In MS parlance this means ADFS, but as these technologies overlap so much with other technologies which follow the same WS-Federation standards from other vendors this will be a great starting point for a discussion.
We'll then break the delegates in to a few small groups and have you discuss the sorts of issues you face in your own organisations. Following that we'll create a prioritised list and debate the issues. There may be many issues that arise, and because of time we may not get to all of them, but by prioritising the list we will have covered the most important ones first.
It will be a very interactive session where the discussion is facilitated by an expert(s) in enterprise federation issues."
