Dan Blum has a good article on Liberty and SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language) in this week’s Network World.
As with any complicated security technology, remember to keep expectations in line with reality. SSO and Identity Management can be powerful support tools for organizations that want to reduce risk. But due to the complexity of most enterprise environments and the emergence of multi-vendor web services offerings they’re far from being ‘pop and drop’, solve all your problem solutions.
When a technology’s complexity is ignored backlash often occurs. Think PKI, Biometrics, and IDS just to name a few.
