Adventures in Cardspace
"Industry guru Craig Burton’s Cardspace is working now (thank goodness).
The bad news is that he’s had a pretty miserable time getting it going. Mainly, it seems in retrospect, because his computer was set up with a FAT32 file system. If you have this configuration, no error message is displayed to you as a user - you have to read through a cryptic note in the system-wide error log. This has to be fixed.
The good news is that once he got Cardspace working, Craig really liked it. That’s really important to me:
I have been trying to get CardSpace to work on my machine for several weeks. (Seems much longer.)
I have downloaded tons of upgrades, deleted apps and services, and so on.
Pamela Dingle and Kim Cameron have been very helpful in trying to help me make things work.
Thanks Kim. Pamela was great. Congratulations on a good start on the CardSpace technology. I was reinstalling XP on another machine today and noticed that there was a lot of positioning of Passport as the single sign-on solution for the industry. Thanks to you, we aren't stuck with that repressive objective.
