Hello, We've been busy working away in the background reworking the protocol draft. As a result of the feedback at the IETF 65 DIX BOF we have recast much of the DIX protocol as SAML messages, assertions, and profiles. As ever we'd welcome your feedback on this draft. John
The new draft with the SAML mapping seems to me to be harder to follow than the last, but having said that you seem to have done a great job of keeping the SAML complexity to a minimum.
I was a little disappointed to see it explicit that non browser clients are not being considered, feedreaders and blog clients seem extremely important to me and I worry about leaving them out. It will be interesting to see if they are accomodated in WARP and whether Sam is going to propose some sort of federated digest authentication scheme, potentially similar to the one proposed by Philip http://www1.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/dix/current/msg00368.html. A scheme such as this would benefit from sharing a common definition of persona-url and persona-document with DIX. Has there been any discussion on moving the persona-url and persona-document definitions out of the DIX protocol specification and into its own specification. They seem more broadly useful and the corresponding specification can build on the Yadis work. Are any of the Yadis folks thinking of submitting a draft to the IETF?
