How to add CardSpace support to your ASP.NET application


I like the idea of CardSpace but unlike OpenID it seems like a real PITA to support it in your ASP.NET web application. I've found many examples, even a tutorial in one of the books I own... but it would seem a lot more is required than what they suggest.

Changes to the server and such?

Can someone tell me:

  • What I need to configure in IIS7
  • How to implement CardSpace support without using to many 3rd party components
  • Have you managed to get it working?

I think the complexity (or poor documentation) is one of the reasons CardSpace is lagging behind.

(I'm interested in what others think about this, but lets not turn this into a flame war, I just want a solution and perhaps your thoughs in short)


Solution

  • I have blogged about that, but it is in Swedish. I hope we can rely on google translate. :-)

    Get Started

    Use Windows CardSpace with ASP.NET Membership

    Get an InfoCard with Javascript

    Hope this helps.
