Novell plugs Bandit for ID management
,----[ Quote ]
| Novell on Monday plans to officially launch Bandit, an open-source
| identity management project that was quietly started earlier this year.
|
| As previously reported by CNET News.com, the Bandit project aims to create
| a set of open-source components for services that use identity data in
| online transactions, whether corporate or consumer. By going public,
| Novell hopes to attract more developers to build on its initial code
| for network sign-on, policy-based administration and other
| directory-related services.
|
| Bandit will make use of other efforts working on standards for identity
| purposes, Dale Olds, a distinguished engineer at Novell, said in an
| interview. These include the Liberty Alliance's protocols and
| specifications and Higgins, an open-source project backed by Novell and
| IBM. Higgins is meant to give people more control of their data when they
| do business online.
