Next geekSpeak – Wednesday, February 25 – The .NET Access Control Service with Michele Leroux Bustamante

  • Article

Wow, what a title! This Wednesday, join one of our favorite geekSpeak guests Michele Leroux Bustamante as she enlightens us about the .NET Access Control Service.

The .NET Access Control Service is part of the Azure Services Platform. It allows applications to delegate authentication with built-in support for a variety of credential types, supplies claims-transformation for dependent applications, is a scalable on-demand solution, and removes the need to provide dedicated development and IT resources for an on-site STS that can scale. Michele will show us how developers can build federated security scenarios leveraging the Access Control Service – your Security Token Service hosted in the cloud.
