I was really surprised to see how much excitement there was about UMA. At one point–when Eve was presented with the EIC award that Joni Brennan brought from Germany–the entire conference broke out into spontaneous ooo-ma, ooo-ma chant, which is more exuberance than I’ve ever witnessed for any standard or API.

UMA and Juju rock IRMSummit 2014 – Phoenix, Arizona The schedule featured many great talks, and there was a significant presence of sponsors. Certainly not meant to be a comprehensive summary, but below were some highlights and some snapshots! I was really surprised to see how much excitement there was about UMA. At one point–when Eve was presented with the EIC award that Joni Brennan brought from Germany–the entire conference broke out into spontaneous ooo-ma, ooo-ma chant, which is more exuberance than I’ve ever witnessed for any standard or API. During the day, Eve’s presentation on UMA positioned the standard as the answer for Web Access Management 2.0. She also made the case that best practices are needed for the design of “scope-based access management” and pointed out that multi-party federations could publish standards for UMA scopes, as they do for user attributes in IDP saml. The other technology to get uproarious applause from the crowd was Juju. Stein Myrseth from Forge rock gave an excellent real-time demo of Juju. By dragging Juju charms onto the canvas, and letting Juju do its deployment magic, Stein probably broke all speed records for deployment of OpenDJ, Open AM and protecting a web access management tools application. To find out more about the Juju Application Security Framework, see the overview work-in-progress.
The FIDO standard was another hot topic. One interesting thing I learned is that even if you become part of the FIDO Alliance, you are not allowed to implement the proposed standard until the release of the implementer’s draft, which is not expected until late this year. The slide below presents a very high level overview of FIDO: After much pontification on why identity relationship management (“IRM”) is actually a good name for the conference, Ian Glazer from Sales Force gave an interesting talk on the “Laws of Relationships” The Arizona Biltmore is a beautiful resort, built in the 1920′s, with design contributions by Frank Lloyd Wright. I don’t know if the location will be the same next year, but I would look forward to returning there. And where ever the location, IRMSummit is on my list of MUST-ATTEND conferences in 2015.
