Wiki space for work on 2010 Advance CAMP Action Item:
Write Developers Guide to Federating Applications
Discussions over the last few years and experience with federated services have demonstrated a need for a comprehensive guide and best practices for developers when writing applications that may eventually be federated. Some of the issues overlap substantially with general practices for writing applications that work well with IdM infrastructure, and some are unique to federation.
