[Peter Williams]

Don't worry about the uci evil label. I was never under any illusions that it was not viable. You guys marketted with it fine, and I got to use to overcome the over stodgy practices of the saml world. As always, things meet somewhere in the middle.

I'm also glad to see live is not in the

I want to thank Andrew Arnott, Johnny Bufu and many others for there feedback during the process of developing the GSA profile for openID.

Today we have Six OP announcing support for the profile and the GSA Pilot: AOL, Google, Yahoo, and Verisign, and Wave.

<http://openid.net/2009/09/09/yahoo-paypal-google-equifax-aol-verisign-acxiom-citi-privo-wave-systems-pilot-open-identity-for-open-government/>Andrew has helped build the test RP that is available at <http://test-id.org/> http://test-id.org that we have been using for the last several months to help the IdP conform to the profile.

If other IdP are interested in participating they can contact the OIDF or myself for more information.

Getting 5 OP's ready to go into this pilot has been a major challenge.

I would like to thank all of the 5 OPs for there commitment to openID and to making this happen.

This is a big day on the openID and federated identity adoption curve.

Thanks
John Bradley

PS No delegation is not supported by the profile.  No you cannot enter a vanity URL or any other identifier for privacy and non correlation reasons.  Yes XRI is allowed,  but even I can't see why you would bother given the profile.  Yes I am an evil and loathsome person for violating the principals of UCI (Sorry about that)

DotNetOpenAuth community:

The government has just announced<http://www.idmanagement.gov/drilldown.cfm?action=openID_openGOV> that they are piloting accepting OpenID on several of their web sites, and the major OpenID Providers (Google, Yahoo, AOL, PayPal, Verisign) will be supporting Providers<http://openid.net/u-s-government-openid-pilot-program-participants/> of this new Government profile for OpenID.

What is this "government profile<http://www.idmanagement.gov/documents/ICAM_OpenID20Profile.pdf>"?  Basically it's a set of rules that an OP and RP must follow.  These rules are more restrictive than, but nonetheless compliant with, the OpenID 2.0 spec.  For example, HTTPS must be used throughout the process, and shared associations must only last up to a given maximum length of time.

I'm very pleased to announce that DotNetOpenAuth has support for this government profile, and in fact is the underlying library used by the NIH for its OpenID RP support.  Watch for a new release of DNOA (3.2.1) in the next day or two that actually includes the government profile in it.  (We could release it earlier than today's announcement).
