OpenSSO and the role of web based SSO

P.T.Ong recently posted his thoughts on the newly announced released of OpenSSO (formerly Sun Java Access Manager which they have now open-sourced). In his post he raises the point: “The biggest challenge in rolling out these systems is that you had to integrate it to the backend servers, resulting in very slow deployment projects” I have been deploying web based access control systems for a number of years now and… Read More »OpenSSO and the role of web based SSO

Linking Physical and Logical Security

There is more and more rumblings within the industry of late about the convergence of physical and logical security within the enterprise. Nishant mentions it here, pointing to a piece by one of his colleagues, Anshu Sharma, here. As yet, I haven’t seem a good definition of exactly what people refer to when they talk about physical to logical security. In my mind there are a number of different potential… Read More »Linking Physical and Logical Security

Moving On…..

Its the end of an era! I have been at Enline plc for nearly 10 years now (must be nearly a record), working predominantly in a consulting role at a number of different levels from implementation through to architecture. During that time I have seen a lot of changes within the company as well as number of changes for me personally. However, I have now decided that it is time… Read More »Moving On…..

More from Jason Kolb on Reinventing the Internet

Jason Kolb has posted the fourth part of his series on “Reinventing the Internet”. I have blogged about two of his previous three posts here and here. I don’t know where Jason gets his inspiration but I continue to be impressed. However, there are a couple of queries I have about his most recent flash of genius.

Using your Online Identity

Jason Kolb has blogged the third part of his idea of how to give an online identity to the masses and what they can do with it. This extends his previous postings (here and here) which I commented on here. I find this whole concept of his very interesting indeed.
