Session Title:	Pragmatic Identity 2.0: Simple, Open, Identity Services Using REST
Session Abstract:	According to Gartner Group, software as a service (SaaS) is forecast to have a compound annual growth rate of more than 20% through 2011 for the aggregate enterprise application software markets, more than double the growth rate for total enterprise software. Traditional enterprise applications are evolving toward cloud computing, and SaaS applications such as Google Apps, Facebook, Dopplr, and Twitter are slowly becoming core services leveraged by enterprises. A common challenge for developers is to find an easy way to invoke common identity services using a resource-oriented architecture (ROA)/representational state transfer (REST) across their traditional infrastructure, hosted services, and SaaS services in the cloud. This session explains how developers can use Sun's open-source identity stack to build RESTful identity services into developer applications. There is no longer a need to build homegrown security. Using tools such as the NetBeans™ IDE, Eclipse, or Microsoft Visual Studio, developers will learn how to leverage a common identity model, regardless of the programmatic language -- the Java™ programming language, PHP, Ruby, .NET, and the like. The session includes • Overview of identity services • Information on deploying Sun's open-source identity stack • Demo 1: Implementing user management and registration for a social networking application • Demo 2: Implementing fine-grained authorization for a social networking application
