Microsoft to share code
Microsoft has announced it will share a portion of the source code for its Passport authentication technology, hoping to spur adoption of its SSO (single sign-on) software among corporate developers. Beginning in November Microsoft will share code to enable organizations and software makers to add support for Passport into their own SSO authentication systems. For example, a company could employ the technology so that its employees could sign on to a corporate portal and a Passport-protected Web site without having to type in a user name and password each time.

A survey conducted by Evans Data found that the more than 600 developers surveyed virtually split on development plans for Java and .Net.

Web services adoption, meanwhile, will jump from its current level of 57 percent to 87 percent in 2003, according to the survey findings.
