Microsoft Will Accept Open to Log in HealthVault

Despite that Microsoft had declared its support for quite some time to open so far that had not been translated into concrete action in favour of the identification system in question (apart from announcing a future interoperability with Cardspace). Until now? because according to what they have brought in Microsoft soon HealthVault users can log in with your URL Open but have not created an account of Windows Live.


This move is somewhat surprising, not so much by the fact that Redmond would allow users to enter their services without going through the Live ID, but rather for having chosen a tool for storing medical records as "guinea pig? to test a service that identification is not yet fully developed. And rightly so, only allow logging with URLs that have been provided by Verisign and Trustbearer, the two most reliable suppliers that currently exist. So, for now, you can go dismissal of the idea of using your accounts open for Yahoo, Wordpress.com, or Weblogs SL to access HealthVault.


But they also noted that as open and will continue maturing implemented security protocols as the Pope, will expand support to other suppliers.


The accepting open to access HealthVault is a very powerful signal by Microsoft, since it is the first step towards a future implementation of this standard in other services. Process that anyway no one expects to occur very quickly, because in Redmond not want to shelve the Windows Live ID, whose adoption among developers has not been precisely to jump for joy.


Besides this press release constitutes a strong boost to open service itself, since that was falling lately at the crossroads to be receiving much support from technology companies, but that these were intended only become servers and providers URLs identification, but were not willing to allow users to log into their services using a standard that does not belong to them. But considering the attitude that are beginning to take companies like Microsoft and Google, it seems that this will soon change.
