Welcome to the second installment of the series on the ACS Extensions for Umbraco, part of the big ACS launch wave! This time I am going to assume that you succesfully installed the Extensions on your Umbraco instance, and you want to start accepting members from social & web identity providers. You’ll see…
I am back from sunny Vegas, where we finally announced the RTW of the new ACS, to the less sunny Redmond; but not for long. Next Saturday I’m scheduled to fly back to EU, where I’ll have the honor and privilege to blabber about my favorite topics at TechDays Belgium and Nederland’s DevDays….
More unfolding of the tangle of new content announced with the ACS launch. Today I want to highlight the work we’ve been doing for augmenting Umbraco with authentication and authorization capabilities straight out of ACS. We really made an effort to make those new capabilities blend into the Umbraco UI, and without false…

Since then I’ve been using that infographic in various sessions, and it served me well…
The WIF online documentation just got a brand-new section, which provides a great reference for the WIF configuration elements. It’s very well written & organized, and certainly beats digging in the config schema! Try it, I am sure you’ll find some nice feature you may have missed until now, like the chance of…
As promised few weeks ago, here there’s the update to the identity developer training kit and the identity developer training course on MSDN. We revved the instructions for the two HOLs about the ACS Labs release, refactoring instructions to match the look & feel f the newest AppFabric portal. As I am sure…
