[DotGNU]DotGNU Reference

[Adam Theo]

I found this refernce to DotGNU, specifically its Virtual Identities effort:

http://java.sun.com/features/2002/05/single-signon.html

I think they got it wrong, though. They are saying DotGNU's Single 
Sign-On mechanism (does it have one yet?) is a third-party security 
service like Passport and XNS. In other words a centralized service that 
manages all assertions for everyone. This is in contrast to the Liberty 
Alliance way of a group (or federation) of organizations that get 
together and share between each other, after forming bonds of trust.

BTW, anyone here have experience with SAML? I'm researching it for 
PingID.org, which I am being sponsored to lead development of with my 
Theoretic cohort Mike Hearn.
