Bye Bye Microsoft Passport!

asj
It seems that Microsoft may be slowly phasing away Passport, which had
been one of the hyped components of the eroded dotnet hype....bye bye,
passport, we hardly knew ye! bwahahahbwahahaha!!!!!

http://www.dashes.com/anil/2004/10/17/wither_passport

"Microsoft hasn't talked much about Passport lately, but Monster.com
sent out an email last week saying that they were discontinuing the
option to sign in using Passport. And I noticed today that eBay isn't
offering the option to sign in with Passport anymore either. Although
the creepy Passport for Kids site is still up and running, and the
notice from last March about the Express Purchase service getting
killed is still up, but I think the definitive bad sign is that the
directory of sites using Passport is gone. Was there some press
release from Microsoft about Passport dying? Did I miss it?"

I think it is becaues Microsoft charged too much for a company to set up a
passport sight. Have you every priced it. $$$$$ only large companies could
afford it.

As has been said before, please don't post this stuff to a technical
newsgroup with the pure intention of riling people - I don't really care
what you post in the advocacy groups but I can't imagine it's on-topic there
either.

That is not accurate - as a quick visit to:

Not to mention the sheer stupidity in giving all your CRM information away
to another company, and paying them to take it. Especially Microsoft.

It just doesn't make any sense.

Hmm... My MSDN account still uses it.. And eBay still uses it.
Perhaps Monster.com is just cutting costs because they're not making
the money they thought they would.

Rumor has it that Monster's current TV ad campaign is a make-or-break
effort. If it doesn't drum them up new business (remember hiring
companies *pay* to use Monster) they're done for.

Well Passport has essentially been failure from the beginning. When
Microsoft introduced Hailstorm services (ie My services.net) business
rejected it. Today Passport is used for Microsoft sites only even
their own employees disdain the use of passport.

I think IBM had been thinking of joining Liberty. On the otherhand
they were holding off to gain a strategic advantage over Sun. A lot of
this had to do with IBM's involvement with the Internet2 Shibboleth
project. Shibboleth was a opensource federated authentication
mechnanism, which used SAML. Now since Liberty is SAML based it makes
a lot of sense. IBM's decision is rather ironic since they have
invested more resources than any other company. But IBM as a company
has not actively pushed directory services. There is of course a much
larger ramifications such as IBM directory and the services that
accompany it. Thankfully the customer pushed IBM in the right
direction. In the long run it will be good for both the customer and
IBM. More importantly it gives them more leverage to prevent Active
Directory and passport from extending and embracing the IT world.

Hailstorm failed because there really wasn't a business case to justify it.
Passport, while not a resounding success, isn't a failure. It's used by
more than just MS sites, but that list is rather limited.

For example, ebay uses passport, as does InstallShield, USA Today, ESPN,
etc.. but even if it was only MS, that's still a *LOT* of sites.

No, Passport was inclusive but a critical part of the .NET vision.
Microsoft considered using a half assed freemail client as a lynchpin
universal authentication system for sensitive data.

Do any non-MSFT sites *require* passport for authentication? Sure,
sites with money to burn will add optional support for it, but they
can easily drop that support for lack of interest.

You seem to be confusing Hailstorm with Passport. They're not the same
thing. As such, how can one take your analysis when you don't even
understand this difference?

Hailstorm was simply a collection of "for pay" Web services, which have
nothing to do with single sign on.

Microsoft is pushing single sign on as service as opposed to a

Earlier this year Microsoft had a WS-I interoperability pavillon. None

That's local single-sign on, for enterprise. Not single-sign on for
e-commerce. That's a service that runs locally and authenticates against
your own credential databases (AD, LDAP, etc..) rather than a single
sign-on that allows you to go to different sites and login once.

WS-I and or other single-sign on solutions are not solution solution
