Typekey is now Typepad
Submitted by richard on November 20, 2008 - 6:59pmAnd for those of using the Solar framework or any other framework that uses the following url format your typekey login system is now broke..
Luckly its an easy fix!
Typekey is now Typepad and there new system currently pukes on the link generated by the Solar_View_Helper_Typekey link generator.
To fix change your link change the config for href from
"https://www.typekey.com:443/t/typekey/login"
to
"https://www.typekey.com/t/typekey/login"
Yes, shouldn't make a diffrence but it does.. One gives you a blank white screen, the other a new login box.

Solar Framework adds Firebug support thanks to Firephp
Submitted by richard on October 5, 2008 - 5:31pmThere has been a flurry of work around Firebug recently including announcements that Zend Framework and Symfony both now have Firebug logging support through the use of the Firephp. As of this weekend Solar can be added to the list with its own support.
Quick and simple Xdebug 2.x profiling
Submitted by richard on September 3, 2008 - 9:40pmBeen playing around with the latest Solar Framework trunk svn install. Its something I have done in the past with FlashUnity in that you provide an svn directory that has the proper directory structure and external links to quickly bring in a working copy of the application.
Anyway I wanted to do some basic profiling with Xdebug but now that I am on a mac I don't have an easy way to view the cachegrind files. With Xdebug 1.x I used to use a pop up window to directly output the results of the profiling but this option was removed in 2.x.
SAML2.0 and the current state of browser security
Submitted by richard on August 10, 2008 - 11:53amI am currently working on getting basic SAML2.0 support into Solar for an ongoing project at Mashery.com and for security SAML2.0 uses a trusted cert signing.
Basically you sign the a request, send it to your identity provider.. They check the person credentials and send you a response signed with there own key.
Why isn't this possible between a browser and a website? When I go signup for an online account at my bank why can't I provide them my personnal identity they can then use to verify all future requests are "me".
