Let’s welcome MTOM Serialization Policy Assertion, or WS-MTOMPolicy for friends and close relatives 🙂 As we know, WS-Policy provides a generic framework of tremendous expressive power. It is sometimes very useful for very specific domains to provide prescriptive guidance about how certain common features can be expressed in form of assertions. WS-SecurityPolicy and WS-RMPolicy…
I’ve recently been asked for a CardSpace example which demonstrates the use of a smartcard. Well, our usual Garrett already made it! His STS sample can happily show off smartcard usage, you have just to produce the right kind of managed card. As I described here, a managed card associated with a smartcard…
Almost one year ago the web space that was hosting all my blog images (since 2003) somehow lost all of them, so for about one year my past musings were nicely decorated by red “x” all over the place. This evening I finally took the time to go through old posts and see if I could…
When something is part of your daily experience, it’s really hard to think that for somebody else it could be uncommon or even bizarre. For some of my American friends it is really hard to imagine that somebody may not know what Fred Mayer is (<ItalianCaption>Una catena di supermercati, niente di esoterico</ItalianCaption>), while…
Architects and developers often overlook it, but the details of how things are rendered is of great importance for designers. This post explains how the CardSpace UI deals with the artwork assigned to cards, so that you can plan for predictable results. Special thanks to Mark Oluper for his brillian explanation! When you…
Few months ago I stepped in Jaime’s office and I pitched to him the idea of a Managed Card writer application, that would leverage his specialty: great user experience via WPF!!! So I took over one of the whiteboards of his office and filled it with hallucinations on cards, tokens, multiple authentication factors…

Hello there! I’m totally drowning in stuff to do these days, but this post is quick to write and can potentially save you a lot of hassle 🙂 In RC1 (.NET framework 3.0, IE7.0 and/or Vista: for once, we have all nicely aligned) we discontinued the namespace “http://schemas.microsoft.com/ws/2005/05/identity“, substituted by “http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2005/05/identity“. That holds both…
It’s with great pleasure and pride that I write these lines. The first case study we publish about a customer in production with Windows Workflow Foundation is about an Italian account: it’s Polfer, the railways police. Paul announces it here. I had the joy & privilege to be the Corp Architect Evangelist assigned…
Recently I posted mainly about CardSpace, but my mission is actually about all our application server technologies! Workflow Foundation is the perfect tool for describing & driving processes: and what is the generation of a managed card, if not a step in account provisioning? So I wrote a barebone sample activity, which wraps Garrett’s…
