I'll start a new thread, since we are off on ADFS now. I have no experience
with WebSphere yet in the federation space, so it sounds like you are ahead
of me.
With our federation work, the primary target for federation is with ASPs
that host applications in their own facilities. For these guys, our plans
have just been to say that we'll integrate with them at the protocol level
and that they need to get a standards-based federation solution going,
leaving it up to them how they do this. Since we are a big company and they
are trying to sell us a service, this approach seems reasonable. We have
been offering to help a few of the smaller vendors we work with do their
ADFS stuff because we actually have some expertise in house now and some of
these guys we want to give a jumpstart to, but otherwise we haven't helped
our partners much with product selection, especially the non-MS shops.
Thanks for reminding me about the Quest and Netegrity bits. That might be
useful. :)
Joe

Joe,
I have a large Websphere community, which suffers from the single NC for
LDAP binds scenario. Have you had any experience with WS and ADFS? The
WS guys seem very tight lipped on knowing how to setup WS to work with it.
I have been looking at Quests and Netegrity for their ADFS modules for
JAVA systems which I think might fit the bill.
OUr entire unix platform group is integrated into AD with Quest's VAS
product, and surprisingly, they LOVE AD. :)
Thanks for the insight,
Jef
