Firefox-Embedded Selector 1.0 is a card selector implemented as a FireFox add-on that relies on a hosted I-Card Service web service that persists and manages (creates, edits, updates, deletes, etc ) the user's i-cards. A brief Flash demo is available.
Contents
End-User Perspective
Setup
Follow the instructions here: Firefox-Embedded Selector 1.0 Installation to install the this extension into Firefox. After re-starting your browser the setup wizard will help you set up your account on the free Eclipse test server.
Functionality
Getting a Card.
See Sites Issuing Cards for a list. Most sites work roughly like this:
- You go to the issuing site, and create a card.
- If the site provides a link to your new card (.crd file), then the browser extension will pop up and automatically import it into the selector.
- If, on the other hand, you have a .crd file on your hard drive, there is an import button in the i-card manager interface (see next step below) to manually import it into the selector.
- If you click on the "mouse" button that has been added next to your "home" icon at the top of the Firefox window, the "i-card manager" web app will appear in a new tab within your browser. You should be able to see your card(s) here. You can select a card and delete it if you wish.
Logging in with a card
Known bugs
- There is a FireFox bug #401611 superceded by #409888 that prevents the selector from appearing on certain RPs in FF 2.0.0.8 and later. Still broken as of 2.0.0.12. To address this a workaround fix has been implemented with 222142 and is available in the latest HBX release.
Deployer Perspective
This overall solution is comprised of these three sub-systems which must be built and deployed:
- Deploying the Embedded-Selector Extension for Firefox
- Constituent components include: Higgins Embedded-Selector Extension for Firefox
- Deploying the Higgins I-Card Manager Service
- Constituent components include: I-Card Manager
- Deploying I-Card Service 1.0
- Constituent components include: I-Card Service Web App, I-Card Selector Service, I-Card Registry, I-Card Provider, Token Service, Identity Attribute Service, Jena Context Provider
Developer Perspective
Architecture
For Higgins 1.0 the Web-based identity selector only supports integration with Firefox on Windows and Mac OSX. Support for other browsers and platforms is under active development.
The Firefox implementation uses an embedded i-card selector within the Higgins Embedded-Selector Extension for Firefox. This has been available since 1.0M4.
Building
This section describes the steps a developer would use to build deployable artifacts. The next section describes how to deploy them to create a runnable system.
This overall solution is comprised of the following sub-systems which must be built separately.
- Building the Higgins Browser Extension for Firefox
- Constituent components include: Higgins Browser Extension for Firefox
- Building the Higgins I-Card Manager Service
- Constituent components include: I-Card Manager
- Building I-Card Service 1.0
- Constituent components include: I-Card Service Web App, I-Card Selector Service, I-Card Registry, I-Card Provider, Token Service, Identity Attribute Service, Jena Context Provider
