Identity Claim

It is recommended that you set your identity claim to :ppid, as it is the only constant identifier of a user’s information card. The invariable nature of the :ppid also allows us to hash it and make it even more unreadable. If you decide to use a different claim to identify a user (ie. :email_address), should the user change their e-mail address on their Information Card, your site will not be able to find them.

To configure the required_claims and the identity_claim, follow the syntax below in your environments file(s).

# Required Claims
InformationCard::Config.required_claims = [:ppid, :given_name]

# Claim to identify Information Cards
InformationCard::Config.identity_claim = :ppid

How do I detect if a user has Identity Selector support?

You can detect support via Javascript. However, we have found that Javascript detection of identity selector support only reliably detects the Windows CardSpace Selector on IE 7. Refer here for more information.

Where can I get an Information Card icon?

The recommended icon is available here. Is is being promoted as a standard, similar to the standard syndicated feed icon.
