<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><span style='color:#1F497D'>Ok.
This seems to be a simple claim. A collaboration web-application requires users
to logon. The OpenID protocol is the method used. Seems simple enough. Jyte
asked MyOpenID to (a) repupose my login session, (b) send I&A claims, (c) send
persona details.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Isn’t an “OpenID server” simply
(a) an “authentication server” (that happens to use webSSO flows) and (b) an “attribute
authority server” (that serves up Registration persona data)?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><span style='font-size:11.0pt;
font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Or, is there the implied
assertion that with “social networking stuff” that group/association functions
have been added to the OpenID server, where the design of that is part of the OpenID
movement’s work, in controlling and managing “user-centric authorization
systems”?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><span style='font-size:11.0pt;

management product” (viable only for realty-related applications, really, like
offer/sale contract, title searches, money transfer & escrow, mortgage
brokering, handling inspections, handling building contractors …) is a pun. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

it also manages associations (relating a member who has associated with others
in groupings known to the member as X, Y and Z) – given realtor needs GOOD REFERALS
to compete for the next home transfer, and thus MUST associate to get the next
lead. (Is also done non-standard WebSSO, for about 8 years, too </span><span

(at xri.net) manages local and global name resolution in parallel, the product
manages local and global names given by folk to the group(s) implied by one’s
choice to associate with others for some purpose. From this, entitlements are
managed – and are used to drive’s one’s “user-centric” authorization system.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Now, if social networking-based
authorization work has produced community standards in this area (even early
phase efforts), I can start trying to design an accommodation – where that
association management products adapts to the standard – so (a) as to interwork
with others, (b) provide use case analysis from a business community that thrives
on and depends on (secure) social networking (and has for 100 years) (c) support
the OpenID initiative.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
