  Microsoft .NET Passport Service Changes
Time: 00:05 EST/05:05 GMT | News Source: ActiveWin.com | Posted By: Robert Stein

"You are receiving this message because you currently have an application in Preproduction (DEV/TEST) for which the inline sign-in feature has been provisioned by means of the .NET My Services Manager system. As of Monday, May 13th, 2002, we will permanently disable the feature and will not be allowing any applications that use it to roll into Production. Inline sign-in was introduced in .NET Passport version 2.0 (August, 2001) as an optional alternative to the standard single sign-in (SSI) mechanism. It allowed participating sites to embed the sign-in dialog box directly in a page on their site, instead of redirecting users to a .NET Passport-hosted sign-in page. However, in a recent security evaluation of the .NET Passport service, inline sign-in was identified as representing an unacceptable security risk to the service. Therefore, effective immediately, this functionality is being phased out."

Anyone else find the combination of "effective immediately" and "phased out" humorous?

Another victim of trustworthy computing. :)

Yes effective immediately, after May 13th that is... Is it me or is this not immediately?

Gee, maybe it means the phase-out begins immediately and concludes on May 13th...

But I guess some people can't even let a simple announcement from Microsoft go by without slamming it.

I object to the over use of the word "the". This is just further proof that M$ sucks.

lol #5...

#3, effective immediately, it "is being phased out," and on May 13th it will be completely gone. Phasing out isn't an instantaneous thing.

Wow a few comments on my wise ass comment. That is just interesting that two people felt the need to explain Phasing out and Effective Immediately to me. I am just shocked. I got the comment, I just was being an ass.

Anyone got an official Microsoft web site to disclose more details?

#4: Blah, blah, blah.

Inline signin was a stupid idea anyway. Should never have been added in the first place.

Oh, really, #7? You actually came across as a dumbass on that one. Our fault... or is it?
