[OpenID] FW: ProtectNetwork ID Activation Successful!

[Peter Williams]

Convergence is happening nicely. I think OpenID has been the forcing function!

The note below was a very pleasant surprise to me, as Id assume'd largely OpenID deniall (if not restrained hostility) from all the US contingent of the Shibboleth community. But to the contrary: the very provider facilitating signup to the test-Shib process verly prominent promotes OpenID. This has to be significantly raising the profile of OpenID in the academic SAML world.

Your ProtectNetwork ID has been activated!

Your ProtectNetwork ID (username) is: pwilliams 
Your OpenID is: pwilliams.protectnetwork.org

You may now access any OpenID or Shibboleth-enabled website or application that accepts ProtectNetwork IDs.

You can use your OpenID (pwilliams.protectnetwork.org) on any site that accepts OpenID for authentication. 
When you enter your OpenID at an OpenID-protected site, you will be redirected to the ProtectNetwork login page, where you can enter your username (pwilliams) and password. 
To access a Shibboleth protected site, simply login by using your ProtectNetwork issued username (pwilliams) and password. 
Thats it. It is that simple!
