Agreed. IMHO, it's better we do not have different approaches to maintain user attributes separately based on InfoCards and OpenID. User data should be treated in the same way in both the cases and attributes should be shared.

Thanks & regards.

IMHO maintaning/getting user properties from two APIs is not going to be clean. Let me suggest a completely different approach:

- Lets use only authentication from UserManager.
- Lets completely bring in the concept of user profiles into Identity Solution (When users use it with the default user store). - In this case both CardSpace and OpenID will have multiple profile functionality.
- We will have our own UserPropertyreader interface
- In cases where the user store is something else other than the default UserStore (LDAP, JDBC) we will *not* support multiple profiles, since user properties are given by the third party user store.

Thoughts?

Thanks,

Hi All,

After studying the requirements very closely I came to the conclusion
that this is OpenId requirement. Why?

Say there is a user with the name Namal. And Namal has two profiles by
the name Profile-A and Profile-B.

In Profile-A Namal has the address - No 59, California, USA
In Profile-B Namal has the address - No 50, Colombo, Sri Lanka
I think this is a OpenID requirement. Therefore I added this to Identity
Solution.

The functions are available in OpenIDProfileAdmin.java

I have committed this to the revision 13788.
