The list below is what’s available now on the Cloud Identity Scenarios and Solutions for Developers catalog. At the end of this post there is a preview of the same content optimized for tablets/mobile devices consumption. The key design principle of improvement for tablet/mobile devices is that tablets and mobile devices are optimized for scrollability and clickability by fingers.

This is a quick rpeview of the same content I am trying to optimize for mobile devices. It is available here Cloud Identity Scenarios and Solutions for Developers (optimized for tablets)

I am building a catalog of Cloud Identity Scenarios and Solutions for Developers. Almost finished first batch for Application Architecture scenarios.

It is work in progress that only started. I care to share it earlier than later so it gets corrected on the go. Each scenario has the following structure:

• Scenario. This includes visual of the scenario and its key attributes.
• Solution Approach. This includes visual of the solution and how it solves the scenario.
• Analysis. This includes free text that adds more context to the scenario and solution. It clarifies the solutions apporach, adds details where to get more information, gotchas and pitfalls.
• Resources. This is collecting of related materials with detailed instructions how to implement the solution. It includes reference to How-To’s and Code Samples.

Here is the first batch of the identity scenarios and solutions for different application architectures:

• I Am Building A Web Form Application
• I Am Building An ASP.NET MVC Web Application
• I Am Building A SOAP WCF Service
• Federated Authentication In SOAP WCF Service, Identities Managed In AD
• I Am Building A REST WCF Service
