Re: 答复: [higgins-dev] Integration of RCP Identity Selector

Hi Lie,
thanks for your immediate response.

Glad to hear that you are interested
in the "RCP identitiy selector", I have developed this feature
with Mike and Bruce in the year 07-08. I see you have defined two scenarios
in the following, but my question is, do you have any business requirement
at hand or typical use case/user stories about rich client application
with identity selector functionality,or what's the motivation of typical
rich client applications to integrate with the identity selector?
Our purpose for EclipseCon is to explain Higgins usage scenarios for Eclipse / RCP developers.
We are also working for clients, which are using and developing a lot of business driven RCP applications, where Identity Management is an overall essential topic, also including mulit-tier architectures with RCP clients, server-side JavaEE applications and in some cases standard IAM infrastructure (e.g. like Netegrity SiteMinder).
The RCP ID selector and HBX are in two
separate process, and I use socket as the inter-process communication channel.
HBX can hold up info-card form's POST request, it can get the info-card
description of the Web page (mostly are the <param> tags of the <object>
tag), and send these information to the RCP identity selector process through
a TCP connection, on 8088. The selector then work out the security token
(from remote STS server or locally) and return the token to the HBX.
OK, I'll see.
We have define the message format (XML)
for this TCP connection, so the RCP rich client application can use the
same way to invoke this selector. Your application can just prepare this
XML message, and send out through port 8088; and then wait for the security
token on this connection.
I have a sample (which I prepared for
IBM Lotus Expeditor/Notes last year), and you can find the stuff com.ibm.rcp.security.icard
contains things you may want. Note that the code may be old as it is
developed in April 2008.
Great. This helps us to understand and use the RCP Identity Selector.
Bye, Jochen
