I just want to use Managed Cards. Managed Information
Cards can lend the perception that an organization is an
innovator, but it is good to be sure there are additional
advantages.
If an organization isn??™t providing the identities for use
outside the con?¬?nes of their own sites, and the websites
that consume the identities have complete access to the
identity store anyway (because they share a common
database and service layer), then in some cases Managed
Information Cards issued by the company aren??™t providing
substantial value and could increase the complexity
of the system.
Using a Managed Information Card can provide more
than a pathway for authentication; the claims inside the
token can convey the data that the RP requires??”and
doesn??™t have access to otherwise.
Like most technologies used on the Internet, an STS doesn??™t
require complete understanding of the underlying protocols to
acquire the software, set it up, and begin using it. After an organization
begins to do so, however, there is a strong implicit
promise to the users to whom identities are issued that the STS
will be available and that the identities may be used any time
that is appropriate.
