Anyone know of any threads discussing how the XRds applied in OpenID
**may** be cooperating with any XRD-based CardSpace discovery?

 

 

There just has to be a driving force behind the adoption of XRDs in
OpenID Auth 2.0 - a force that is more than just that addressing XRIs
and persistent names.

 

It's obvious that the cardspace protocol is basically a metadata
discovery system, for locating server endpoints and declaring the
attribute contracts. It's similar to foaf, in that respect. An infocard
can also obviously be a simple wrapper around the SAML2 metadata format
describing this (SAML2) class of Cardspace-IP. SAML2 webSSO or PAOS
tokens can obviously be handled by the IP's STS endpoint, just the STS
might handle other token blob formats - such as a signed FOAF token.

 

Out of interest, are XRDs used anywhere? ... in the underlying discovery
methods of CardSpace Card Selector protocol?

 

Anyone know of any threads discussing how the XRds applied in OpenID
Auth 2.0 (draft 11) **may** be cooperating with any XRD-based CardSpace
discovery?
