New tools add Liberty to .Net

By Robert Lemos
Staff Writer, CNET News

The SourceID project on Monday released an early version of the group's developer tools for integrating the Liberty Alliance's authentication protocols into Microsoft's .Net development framework. The SourceID.Net tools allow access to the single sign-on functions through a simple programming interface, the group stated on its Web site.

The Liberty Alliance consists of a group of companies--including Sun Microsystems, American Express, Bank of America and America Online--working toward a way for people to have a single user identity and password that can be used across many Web sites. The SourceID project is working to ease the creation of such Web sites using either the .Net framework or the Java framework.
