We now have an instance of the people picker invitation client deployed for interested people to investigate.
This is an early release specifically because we are looking for comments, bugs and improvements. Please don't be shy about letting us know your opinion of this new client.
This client is able to look up people within the federation and invite them to use the service on which it is deployed, with just two mouse clicks. For example, ppk6 has a demo jsp deployed, but nobody has been given access. Using the invitation client on ppk6, we can give access to anyone that people picker can find. Those users get an email telling them about the invitation and can then access the service by logging in via their idp.
To start working with the people picker invitation client, please follow the demonstration instructions .
