Firefox Identity Selector

There is a prototype identity selector for firefox, which allows you to login to infocard enabled sites, without infocard, or even windows.



You can download it here: http://xmldap.org/xmldap.xpi



In order to get started, download and install the extension, and then browse over to one of the public relying parties. It also requires that you have a JVM installed, which you can pick up from java.com if need be.



Please note that this is of alpha quality. It only supports Self Asserted tokens, and many other desireable features have not been implemented. However, it should provide the based for some interesting discussions at IIW this week.



Enjoy, and please send feedback.



There seems to be a small bug with selecting cards. If you click on a card to select it, and its values do not fill in on the right side of the screen, then click it again until they do. If you attempt to submit with blank values it won't work



Also - keep in mind that Firefox will warn that a plugin to handle the infocard object isn't installed. Simply ignore this.
