Microsoft’s digital identity management tool has been integrated into DiscountASP.NET’s Web hosting control panel.

December 4, 2007 (TopHosts News Brief) - Sierra Madre, California-based Web host DiscountASP.NET announced that it has integrated a beta of Microsoft CardSpace into its ASP.NET Web hosting control panel.

Customers with Internet Explorer 7 and CardSpace on their computer can now use personal Information Cards to log in to their hosting control panel without a password.

“The Control Panel CardSpace integration serves two main purposes. First, especially with the recent introduction of .NET 3.5 hosting, we wanted to demonstrate the use of new .NET 3.x technology,” Takeshi Eto, DiscountASP.NET’s vice president of Marketing, said in a statement issued to the media. “Second, we wanted to give our customers the opportunity to provide feedback on CardSpace during this early stage as Microsoft works toward delivering on their vision for an Identity Metasystem.”
