Forum OpenACS Q&A: Identity management for OACS/.LRN websites

Hi,

I was reading my syndicated blogs today and found postings i think are very interesting. They talked about a identity management solution that offer high levels of privacy and audit trails indeed providing features like single sign-on and automatic form fill.

The solution is "sxip" ( http://www.sxip.org ):
"a simple, secure and open platform for true digital identity. Sites that implement Sxip support are able to easily provide features like single sign-on and automatic form fill."

An overview of possibilities using skip in collaborative environments was posted in Martin Terre Blanche' blog here and Stephen Downes blog here
