How SAML, OAUTH, and other Identity Federation Solutions Work in a Windows Enterprise

From BriForum 2012 Chicago

Presented by Andrew Innes

Pity the naive Enterprise Architect; no sooner does he build a nice Identity and Access Management platform and a nasty Windows app comes along to spoil it. In this session, join Andrew Innes to learn why web apps (and new native apps) have an advantage over Windows apps in adapting to claims-based IAM / entitlement management systems that are the backbone of modern application management, and how Windows apps can be brought along (with some difficulty). Find out how full SAML-style identity federation can be used in some cases, and when to use a pragmatic approach to identity handling. Consideration is given to what this means for customers and service providers in the emerging space of cloud-hosted Windows applications, and for Desktops as a service. The session concludes with a look ahead to what Windows 8 and beyond may bring to the table to improve matters.
