End users can use Microsoft codename "<A href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/winfx/reference/infocard/default.aspx">InfoCard</A>" to register with the STS, and then sign into STS-registered web sites. Web sites and services can enable InfoCard-based sign in by registering with the STS and implementing a few simple web pages</SPAN><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 7.5pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-family: Verdana">. STS issues a SAML 1.1 token for registered users that can be used by registered web sites to accept STS authenticated users. <BR><BR>To try it out as an end user, you can register your "InfoCard" and check out the <A href="http://relay.labs.live.com/"><SPAN style="COLOR: blue">relay site</SPAN></A> download that is InfoCard sign in enabled. <BR><BR>To try it out as a site owner, you can download and install the Microsoft Live Labs STS SDK.
