[Identity-dev] Our cards can be imported now!

ruchith's picture
Hi Devs, Thanks to the help of the folks at MSDN "CardSpace" forum [1] the InfoCards that our API produces can be imported into the MSFT CardSpace identity selector now! However we have a couple of issues related to Apache XML-Security: 1.) MSFT CardSpace expects the card not to contain any newlines between elements. Apache XML-Security adds a lot of whitespace and we are using a patched version of it. We have the jar uploaded here in the wso2 mvn2 repo[2]. 2.) CardSpace signature verification expects the complete certificate chain to be available in the KeyInfo/X509Data element within consecutive X509Certificate elements. AFAIK this is not supported by XML-Security and [2] contains the patch for this as well. I will send a proper patch to the xml-sec list for us to be able to depend on the xml-sec trunk! Thanks, Ruchith p.s. - *Please* make sure the build doesn't fail before you commit! - Please upgrade to maven-2.0.6 [1] http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=1488839&SiteID=1 [2] http://dist.wso2.org/maven2/org/apache/santuario/xmlsec/534045-patched/xmlsec-534045-patched.jar
