It doesn’t tell you their name or address or anything else; that’s up to the individual to provide (or not). The authentication relies on our Access Manager product, and it’s pretty strong; employees here have to use those crypto-magic SecureCard token generators for serious authentication, passwords aren’t good enough.&nbsp;<br></blockquote> Now, if only Roller and blogs.sun.com supported OpenID we&#39;d reallly be cookin&#39;<br>
