CardSpace login for dasBlog - download

(this post is in English, because I think it might be useful for non-German readers as well)

A few days ago I wrote that I added CardSpace support to my blog. I've now cleaned up and commented my source code and you can download it now.

CardSpace support for dasBlog - download

Use this file at your own risk. I do not guarantee that it is bug free or that it is the best and easiest way to add CardSpace to your blog. All I can say is that it works for me :).

You need .NET 3.0 on your server. You also need a valid SSL certificate (or otherwise you must create your own certificate with tools like selfssl form theIIS 6.0 resource kit and install it on every client from which you want to use the CardSpace login). For my blog, I use a SSL certificate that I bought from http://www.namecheap.com/, which costs less than 15$ / year.

To install CardSpace support for dasBlog, just copy CardSpaceLogin.aspx, CardSpaceLogin.aspx.cs, images\informationcard.gif and app_code\TokenProcessor.cs to your dasBlog directory.

I'm not the author of TokenProcessor.cs, this file is part of the CardSpace samples on http://cardspace.netfx3.com.

In CardSpace v1, this only works via HTTPS. You need a valid SSL certificate for your web site. The user account under which you run dasBlog
must have access to the private key of your SSL certficate. The CardSpace samples on http://cardspace.netfx3.com contain a tool which can find the name and location of the file in which your SSL certificate is stored (findprivatekey.exe). Find that file and grant your dasBlog ASP .NET account read permissions.

To associate an existing user account with an information card, login by using username and password first. Then go to the CardSpace login page and select a card. This card will then be associated with your user account.

If you use this for your blog, please let me know by e-mail or by writing a comment for this blog entry.
