In Phase One of the Favorites Service, every site that licensed the Favorites Service had its own authentication system with its own list of users. With Phase Two, we want to show how to create an XML Web Service that saves information for Microsoft® .NET Passport users to both create a global list of users and allow creation of a single list of a user's favorites accessible from any site that licenses the Favorites Service and implements .NET Passport single sign-in. A user browsing between sites offering the Favorites Service would see the same list of favorites no matter where the user went. This article details the steps we went through in order to configure our machines to work with .NET Passport in a development environment, and discusses how we used the classes in the .NET Framework to perform .NET Passport single sign-in.
