At one point, federated identity management suffered from an unusual problem: too many standards initiatives. Fortunately, these efforts have consolidated to the point where we have two options.

This webinar explores the history of identity federation, early efforts to address multiple use cases, and the consolidation of those efforts into the two major federation standards in place today. It also compares and contrasts federation standards with user-centric identity
approaches such as OpenID.

In 30 minutes, you'll learn:

• How did standards-based identity federation evolve from proprietary single sign-on approaches?

• Which use cases led the creation of early federation standards?

• What are the most important current federation standards and how do they compare?

• What is OpenID and how does it compare to SAML?
