Identity Interoperability scenario with PHP and Geneva Server, Windows CardSpace, Information Cards
At the RSA Conference 2009 in April, Microsoft’s Scott Charney included a video from a project for the Lake Washington School District in his keynote. The project features a very interesting identity interoperability scenario between the Lake Washington School District’s internal Active Directory and Intand’s Tandem for Schools SaaS application. The key challenges were to manage effectively identities while preserving the security of the users and the system.
The project combines Microsoft code name “Geneva” (the “Geneva” Server and Windows CardSpace “Geneva”) and Intand’s PHP-based Tandem for Schools application that uses the Zend Framework’s information card support for interoperability.
The project is based on upon the use of Microsoft code name Geneva Server, Windows CardSpace Geneva and Intand’s PHP application using the Zend Framework’s information card support for interoperability.
To get deeper and learn more about this exciting project, watch these videos:
Finally I wanted to point out other open source interoperability work our team has been contributing to around information cards for heterogeneous web applications. This includes information card support for Java , Ruby on Rails and a generic C module.

About jccim
My name is Jean-Christophe Cimetiere, Senior Technical Evangelist, and I’m part of the Interoperability Technical Strategy team lead by Jean Paoli. My focus is on technical interoperability topics/issues between Microsoft products/technologies and others (competitors, partners, open source, etc). Prior to that job (just started summer 2007) I spent 4 years at Microsoft France driving marketing efforts for the .NET Framework, Visual Studio, and Silverlight. Before that I spent 10 years in the development/consulting/analyst domains. It’s been a while since I have been doing any writing and have missed it (although I’ve been doing quite a few videos). So here we go, I’m back online!
