News from the Partner Conference taking place this week (July in New Orleans, this is one conference I actually don’t mind missing, I gotta tell you). Among other things, we now have the official branding for the three components of Microsoft Code-Name “Geneva”, to be named as follows:
| Was… | Is now… |
| Geneva Server | Active Directory Federation Services |
| Geneva Framework | Windows Identity Foundation |
| Geneva Cardspace | Windows Cardspace |
So…meet the new ADFS! Looks…a lot like the old ADFS? At least in name?
Hmmmm. My issue with the naming of Geneva Server, is that we (the royal “we” of rampant Geneva zealotry (*waves to Stuart, Matt, Vibro, Joe, Brian*)) have been trying really hard to push the message of “It’s not just Federation Anymore!” – in fact I think I just blogged that very title last week – and this seems a step backwards from that perspective.
…but at least it means I don’t have to learn to call it something else now. :-)
