I’m psyched to be working with Michele Leroux Bustamante on an interoperability demo for Web Services Education Interoperability Day. It’s a welcome shift from crafting Powerpoint and technical architecture strategies

The demonstration is focusing on leading edge web service specifications such as WS-Policy, WS-Trust, WS-Security, and SAML. As we all know, there’s not much out of the box integration when using open source projects, and there is even less when mixing cross-platform web services (.NET/Java), security, identity management, and open source.

I’m currently firing up Axis Web Services augmented with open source identity management from OpenSAML and SourceID to test federated authentication and authorization across Java and .NET components. I’ll keep you posted on lessons learned.

Any success mixing web services and open source identity management projects?
