I have received a couple of requests from people for the presentations we gave at OpenWorld. They are available for download from the Oracle OpenWorld Website. If you click on Content Catalog on the right, it opens a new window where you can search for the sessions you are interested in. For the identity management
Those interested may have noticed that last week I rebranded my blog to its new name – Talking Identity. Thanks to all those that gave me suggestions (even the ones given sarcastically). Hopefully this resolves any conflicts that arose with the previous name I had chosen. The name reflects what I hope to do through
Thursday, I had a session on Application-Centric Identity Management, describing how it will change the way applications are built. Despite the early hour of the session, a few brave souls did show up, which was quite gratifying. While the session flew by, I did have some interesting conversations with a few of the attendees. In
The last few days, I have been experiencing the spectacle that is OpenWorld. And what a spectacle it is. Howard street is blocked off, covered by a huge tent.

I recently had a rather interesting hallway conversation about the new approach to IdM that we are advocating. This was with a senior J2EE architect I work with whose opinion I greatly value. Paraphrasing the question that started the discussion, what he asked was this: Why do I, as an application architect, care about this?
One of the most common questions I encountered at the Catalyst conference this year was “what is application-centric IdM”. The second most common question (did not lose by a lot) was “how does this compete with user-centric identity”. It has taken a while, but I wanted to make an attempt at answering those questions in
Those who know me from the good old Thor days may remember the presentation I did at our last Advisory Council meeting before the acquisition. It was a slightly tongue-in-cheek piece on the future of IdM, in which one of the things I talked about was the growing desire to see physical and IT security
