This past week at Catalyst an exciting interop occured demonstrating the interoprability of authentication and authorization systems using XACML. in the room were many, many different vendors using other vendors' authentication and authorization on their systems.
The demo involved a brokerage system. Different identities and roles were used to authenticate and authorize different trades.
This interop, together with the other interop on identity systems, paves the way for exciting changes in the world of identity. Now we have a way of seamlessly exchanging who an identity is and their authentication and authorization.
Congratulations to all the many participants in the XACML demo!
